How is this adjusted to reflect population density? Poor reflection of distribution.

Maps like this are deceiving...it makes it look like the the country is politically red when in fact the the largest population densities are blue. The vast majority of red areas are in fact just land...not people.
-
Those who hold land hold more power. That's why the electoral college exists. When you own land, you are more invested in your community, because you own part of it!!
-
Actually not true. U own land, u care about the money you can make off it or how to keep those u don't like off it. Land ownership has nothing to do with caring about people. In fact, it may be an incentive to be very self-absorbed in your voting; caring 4 self, not community.

Um...Based on land mass yes. But based on actual people (population or actual votes cast) THIS is more accuratepic.twitter.com/D3sXC7W3fd

I don’t think it was designed to reflect the distribution of votes overall. I think it was designed to show the political affiliation of the places we live and are familiar with. I found it interesting to look at my home state MA and see so much red.

I don't think the
@nytimes is forthright enough about the implications of that choice.

Notice how all big cities were democrats, not a coincidence that economic development and open mindedness happen in the same places
-
Like Detroit?
-
Well detroit votes democratic because they are enlightened enough to know that the republicans don’t really care about those who are struggling financially- a more socialist government helps those in need
-
You're insane. They've had big government politicials controlling Detroit for decades. They literally poisoned the drinking water in Flint. Good luck with all that
-
The flint situation is ridiculous, a result of terrible mismanagement and greed from companies. However, most of the car companies in detroit were unionized, a lifestyle that they got used to, now they vote democratic because they expect the government to help like the unions did

Being in Indianapolis is the most difficult political bubble. We had
#Pence (we were already fighting his re-election as Governor) AND we are nearly always the first state to be called for the republican on election night.#politicalbubble#bigcitieswereblue#hillbillies -
I feel your pain. I live in Owensboro, KY, which voted roughly 50%-50% in the presidential election, but the surrounding rural areas voted extremely heavily for Trump. Kentucky usually gets called immediately for the Republican, right after they call Indiana.
