Here's your mandate.

Cartogram reflects votes in recent election by population density.

Time to change your sig, dim_juan.

why are the colors separated by state lines except in the midwest? or is it just hard to read?

It was posted several days ago. But it's by State, so it's pretty much bullshit as far as demographics.

Why does NJ look so fat?

Once again, POPULATION DENSITY.

Chris Christie.

 

[blobfish]

This is stupid. Everyone knows that urban areas go libby. That's the whole point of BB's sigline.

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

Big hair.

Once again, POPULATION DENSITY.

sorry, i call bullshit.

a 2 second research shows michigan as having 10 million people, south carolina having only 4. and yet on this map they're almost the same size.

FAIL

No, winner-take-all electoral college votes.

A State that's 49% red and 50% blue shows up as solid blue.

Sorry, but your "cartogram" is fairly meaningless.

Thick braid.

I can see why you're confused.

The electoral college cart is very similar (shown below) and more pronounced.

It's density, not population. This means that if Michigan and South Carolina were the same size, Michigan would appear much larger on the map. However, South Carolina is considerably smaller in area, so it is more densely populated, thereby making it larger.

Are you certain?

Your eyes betrayed you in the first post.

And now this...

that's even worse, actually.
since more welfare and other social-program recipients (typically democrat) are in populated cities, that gives them an unfairly huge proportion of this map, as opposed to non-social-program recipients

Not raw population. Population density.

If only Islandman had made that clear five or six more times.

Again, POPULATION DENSITY!!!!!!!

 

[Liar]

Red-purple-blue for bias.
Saturation for population density.

I will hereby refer to most of Republican America as pink state.

County level results by proportional vote

This meme is destined to fail. Obama performed better among rural voters this time than last--and actually a bit worse in cities.

 

[islandman]

Everyone's got a map now.

MoFos!

thanks for the updates

You've pretty much described the democrat's campaign strategy in a nutshell.
