the only reason republicans win is because you allow your land to vote. it's unbelievable.

I like to point out that cows don’t vote.

The land they're on does though.

I agree, but Earth's solarpunk phase doesn't start for another few millennia. We're still in the era where factory farms still exist.

They can vote from the farms. One pound of meat equals one hundredth of a vote.

Frankly both of these maps are deceptive (though the top one is albeit more so). The dot gets colored the primary color in that region, and visually makes the Democrats seem way more dominant when it's much more bipartisan. A gradient would make this map better

Yep, each area needs two dots, one red, one blue, sized proportional to their votes.

Florida will get quite a bit bluer, but California and the northeast will get much redder.

the jpeg makes a lot of the smaller dots look grey too

Yes, all it takes is small critical details to influence the desired reception of a presentation of data. A goal of a good map or any statistical based representation is not to operate as means of propaganda, but rather by letting the viewer decide the correlation based on making the actual data easy to understand without deceiving in an appealing way.

I don't like sand.
