Land doesn't vote - people do.... (Great visual map)

These maps are a truer depiction of voters in each county.

1. I have always loved this map.

The republicans make it seem like the first map means that they are more popular, but the second map shows the truth.

2. Pink Staten Island is bucking the blue trend in New York

3. When people show me that map I always say

And when cows and tumbleweeds get the vote that might be relevant

4. While one of those maps

especially shows huge land swathes of red, many of those areas are not densely populated.

I still prefer the proportional voting maps, where the state size is depicted in accordance with the voting population. But I can't seem to find a link to one yet.

5. Ah yes. The red map showing total Republican dominance.

Isn’t this the one that Trump had framed and in the Oval Office?

JFC. Like it’s some Verizon wireless coverage map.

6. Just another relic of our antiquated Electoral College, without which this election would be over

We wouldn't even be having discussions like this if our all knowing "founding fathers" hadn't fucked us over with that albatross called the Electoral College which will forever doom us to having a right leaning government while the majority of people's views are much further left.

7. This is why it is so difficult to win the Senate.
