Didn’t say we were. Just saying this tweet thread probably isn’t the target audience for the map you shared. Population density is important to the argument for abolishing the EC.

yeah it kinda talks a bit to the point of storytelling in data viz. Like is the objective to better represent the data that will determine the outcome of the race, or to better represent "boots on the ground" (for lack of a better term). imo both answers to that are valid

change the circles to rectangles and I'm on board. Circles are surprisingly hard to judge relative size and often lead to mistakes in comparisons (not to mention many software packages default to adjusting the diameter so the area increases by an extra factor of pi/2^2)

Fine with that. But you have to agree that that is a good example of data viz telling a story

absolutely is. I mentioned elsewhere in the thread it's just a different story. I think on election night, the focus could probably safely be on "what affects the outcome". We aren't fixing the EC tonight, so have those "EC vs population" maps below the fold

It's an important story, but not the *most* important one on election night

Fair. So, have the conversation, just not tonight. That’s what you’re saying?

I want to save this entire thread as a welcome diamond of civil and nuanced discourse in the shithuricane that is normal Twitter

Not always successful, but I try (mostly) to have these types of conversations in this shithuricane (love this).
