Has anybody noticed the great looking graphics CNN has in its election
coverage?  Seems like they are able to zoom in and out of a map using
touch technology and even able to write on the screen with your hands as
well.  CNN reporter John King is the one who is working the screen so
well.  He also is able to retrieve  historical information from previous
elections.

I was wondering what kind of software they are using.  Is this GIS or
something different?
