Does anyone know what JS library was used to make that interactive graphic? I tried taking a look at the source, but couldn't figure it out.

it's D3.js

And more specifically d3.geom.voronoi() https://github.com/mbostock/d3/wiki/Voronoi-Geom

These examples are by D3.js author Mike Bostock, who currently works at The NYT. http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4060366 http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4360892

relevant section starts at 4:13

rest of the talk is good as well
