Someone asked me for some help creating some maps similar to the vote total maps we have in our MAPS section. I wrote a tutorial for creating a very basic vote total map using Google Fusion Tables to display a Google Map showing the vote totals. This particular tutorial will create a map for Obama's 2012 Presidential performance by Chicago ward.

Included in the file are:

1. A Word document with step by step instructions.
2. A KML file with the Chicago ward boundaries.
3. An Excel file with the vote totals.
4. An HTML file with the example output.
