I have built in the past a 'political' map also, with the google geochart API. Here's the code I used for the US:

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.google.com/jsapi'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>google.load('visualization', '1', {'packages': ['geochart']});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawVisualization);

  function drawVisualization() {var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();

 data.addColumn('string', 'Country');
 data.addColumn('number', 'Value'); 
 data.addColumn({type:'string', role:'tooltip'});var ivalue = new Array();

This is how the map looks like:

Answer 2

Well, the first place you should look is at google's geochart API found here: https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/geochart

Note the options object. Give it a property of region set to 'US' and a resolution of 'provinces'. Something like this:

var options = {
    region: 'US',
    resolution: 'provinces',
    //other options...,
}

Now this will get you the states, but it won't color them. To do that you'll need to set values for each state. Do it like this:

var state_value_array = [
['State', 'race_state'],
['Georgia', 3],
['Alabama, 3],
['New Mexico, 1],
//Other 47 states...,
];

The first value is the state and the second is the value it carries for coloring. To get the coloring you want you'll have to massage the data a bit then set the color range you want.

options['colorAxis'] = {colors: ['blue', 'grey', 'red']};

Call draw on the chart object and pass the state_value_array array to the arrayToDataTable object and everything should be fine.
