This is excellent. Voters vote, not croplands. I’ve seen many variations of this developed; all are more honest than the maps that fully color each state based on its binary decision in the last presidential election. It’s been good to see “news” media begin to take accurate visual presentation seriously; I suspect the visuals affect people more than the text.

US Senate a democratic institution. I assume it was patterened after the House of Lords.

It is now. When it was established, there was no direct vote on Senators. But it’s undemocratic in that it gives undue power to rural states so you have less than a third of the people in the country choosing more than two thirds of the Senators.

The maps that make the most sense to my brain are the ones with 435 squares or hexagons each representing one house seat. It’s how we are represented in the Constitution, we spend billions to update it each ten years and each square represents about 760,000 people.
(332,000,000 million in US divided by 435 = 760,000)
The NYT uses this map (squares) as does 538 (hexes). Appropriate to use for representations of Presidential votes too, at least as an infographic. It would be useful to have similar maps for each state too for their at large votes.

Also, personal political status update, I had no idea I was a communist, but apparently I am!

Looks like “the burbs” have lived up to the original vision of a white family with 2 cars, a white picket fence and a hatred of multiculturalism.
Much of the red area is surrounding blue space. Conservative Suburbia surrounding Progressive Urbanism.
Not exactly what I expected, but I can beleive it. I’ve nwver been a fan of suburbia with its lack of culture and public spaces.

so when EK shats his britches, gets upset at the blue traitor political misses, instead of coloring the whole state blue or red, just color little precinct circles…
… how cute, like drawing the measles…

all the map proves is that Blue ROUTINELY has the bigger measle boils… big blue city slickers… so, what’s the surprise in the mapping of measles…🤷♂️
Nothingburger…the blue-red problems continue…

if racism were a thing politically, blacks and hispanics would not be in first-place as the racists…
… nope, not at all…
First place is a tie, no rubber match is necessary… red and blue voters are the racists…

Real Map = measle boils where only a seat flipped…
Red circle – flipped red
Blue circle – flipped blue
A map with non-flipped seats means zilch for the purpose of showing the croplands and tumble weeds being controlled statewide by red or blue…
…but hey, the method worked great for blue pandemic illustrations and drawings…
