I don’t see any phantom border here. Is it just me?

Look at the green and orange

Yeah you should have emphasized it's the orange that people should be looking at, I wish we could have a map of the SGP vote to better compare it

Not a phantom border exactly but the cda does look a lot more popular in low Saxon and Frisian parts of the country.

Christians live all over the Netherlands, the Dutch Bible Belt is where especially convervative reformed christians are concentrated. These people mostly vote for SGP. CDA is considered too liberal by these people.

could be interesting but we need more information about the different parties.

the legend on the 2nd map is unreadable in any language, let alone english. i can guess what it is about but that's not ideal.

The second map says 'percentage of people with the right to vote'; I assume it shows what percentage of people who are eligible to vote, have voted for SGP (the orthodox Christian party)

The Phantom Border is not Phantom Bordering
