What are good questions to ask about an election map?

I'm doing a US history project, and I'm completely stuck :/ We have to make up questions for documents, and I need an analysis question about this map: http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/showelection.php?ye...

I'm having a really hard time thinking of a question that you would need to really think about the answer. So I'd appreciate it if someone helped? Thanks.

    Is it by demographics ? Is it by political wards? How if any has redistricting played a part in the mapping history? How if any has it benefited either party. How has it benefited ethnic/racial parity?

    Just a few to help you start, good luck. Two states to mentioned Texas, Illinois have successfully used redistricting to help both parties Democratic and Republican, Texas for Republicans and Illinois for Democrats.
