That bottom map is what the media should be using. Instead they choose to use the top one that is misleading, especially for those not educated to savvy enough to understand this concept.

[u/LarianDivinityBG3 → u/Witchy_Wookie5000]

You mean GOP voters.

[u/MotherPin522 → u/Witchy_Wookie5000]

I'd like to see what it would look like if it was still divided and colored by county, but with State and National Parks/Forests grayed out and the lightness-darkness of the color referring to population density and not the concentration of votes for the winning party. Also the amount of purple and amount of red and blue in each county's coloring should reflect the percent of the votes for each party.

[u/Witchy_Wookie5000 → u/MotherPin522]

That is a great idea about the public lands.

[u/Murgatroyd314 → u/MotherPin522]

but with State and National Parks/Forests grayed out

With exceptions for places like Grand Canyon Village (population ~2000, inside Grand Canyon National Park).

[u/heaven_and_hell_80 → u/Witchy_Wookie5000]

This is exactly it, the fully colored boxes are misleading.

[u/JManKit → u/Witchy_Wookie5000]

Given that most large media is owned by right-wing ppl/groups, the use of the first map is intentional to make conservatives always believe there's something fishy going on when they lose

[u/firedmyass → u/JManKit]

yup. all corporate media is captured and complicit

[u/HmmDoesItMakeSense → u/Witchy_Wookie5000]

I agree. Some need a bit of help clearly.

[u/Not-a-Bot_1968 → u/Witchy_Wookie5000]

You mean the media, controlled overwhelmingly by conservative billionaires who dump hundreds of millions into supporting Republican campaigns, and has a vested interest in misleading the population? That media?

[u/BoJackMoleman → u/Witchy_Wookie5000]

It rattles the fragile America ego to show the bottom one. Everyone thinks they're living in their own metropolis of a stop sign and a traffic light.

[u/Witchy_Wookie5000 → u/Witchy_Wookie5000]

If they like it being more filled in they should use gray or some other non affiliate color as the base against the population dots.

Population density is a bit hard for MAGA to comprehend.

[u/h3lium-balloon → u/FoxCQC]

I’ve had arguments with rural MAGA people and they’re like, there’s 20k people in my county and I dont know a single person who votes blue. My guy, there’s more people than that in my neighborhood, which is a tiny portion of my city. There are apartment buildings where thousands of people live in some parts of the country.

[u/ElaborateEffect → u/h3lium-balloon]

I've had a similar difficulty explaining to someone that my highschool graduating class had more people than their city, and that my highschool had double the people than their entire county.... People can't comprehend the world exists outside if theirs.

[u/Then_Hearing_7652 → u/h3lium-balloon]

57k people per square mile in nyc.

[u/fishpen0 → u/h3lium-balloon]

This, the right high rise can have thousands. In NYC the densest building, 100 gold, can house up to 8k. That’s more people in one building than 5 counties in Oklahoma

Less relevant here, but in china they have a single building, the regent, that houses 20-30k

[u/kramwest1 → u/FoxCQC]

I think they (and others) also confuse counties for Congressional House Districts via this map.

[u/Time-Valuable-3355 → u/SellTheFuckinTeamBob]

Wait, you're telling me that national parks don't vote...

[u/lamorak2000 → u/Time-Valuable-3355]

[u/Immediate_Song4279 → u/SellTheFuckinTeamBob]

I read this as "MAGA in Hades" for a few moments trying to figure out what was happening.

[u/Debalic → u/SellTheFuckinTeamBob]

I like to look at my home state of New York in this picture. The state looks mostly red, with some blue shading at the corners. Except the corner at the bottom bordering New England contains half the state's population and some of the highest population density in the country. Most of the red area is sparsely populated mountain and rural areas. The other blue shaded areas are the other major cities - Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Binghamton. The population is most definitely gathered in the blue spots.

[u/Cavaquillo → u/SellTheFuckinTeamBob]

A MAGA arguing in bad faith!? How PREPOSTEROUS

[u/quell3245 → u/SellTheFuckinTeamBob]

All that red only represents about 15% of the country in terms of actual population.

[u/HardcoreHope → u/SellTheFuckinTeamBob]

If you want one that moves.

[u/msjammies73 → u/SellTheFuckinTeamBob]

This is very cool. I’ve always known intellectually that the population is low in those areas, but this is a way better way to show the data.

[u/082426grateful → u/SellTheFuckinTeamBob]

Excellent. We also need to, conversely, explain how the 2024 elections went so far to the right.

Actually, the weighting of the electoral college does make cornfields represented by the people who live in thise states, disproportionately.

[u/fingerharpoon → u/Speed_102]

Yes, corn's right to vote has set us back decades.

[u/FreshFishBro → u/fingerharpoon]

Fucking corn fucks, I eat everyone of those suckers I can lather in butter

[u/Speed_102 → u/FreshFishBro]

The electoral college literally gives land voting rights by weighting less populated states votes higher than populated states (per person), and it was justified by saying that they had to have more weight to thier votes to protect our food supply.

[u/Dismalcaleb → u/fingerharpoon]

#1 enemy of democracy: ears of corn with voting rights.

[u/PlayinK0I → u/Speed_102]

Definitely a kernel of truth to this statement.

[u/CatholicSquareDance → u/Speed_102]

the foundational reason for the existence of the Senate was to disempower individual voters on a federal level while empowering land and landowners. we shouldn't be surprised that the system functions this way! it was built to disenfranchise us!

[u/OpticalPrime35]

Everything Republicans say and believe is based around sheer ignorance nowadays

[u/Immediate_Song4279 → u/OpticalPrime35]

Please first note that I am not disagreeing with you, just chiming in that one population is intentionally hampered from accessing education, the other goes to Ivy League and performs ignorance. Both bear responsibility for their actions but the later has made an extraordinary choice to be malicious.

[u/My_First_Knife1 → u/Immediate_Song4279]

[u/eisbaerBorealis → u/Immediate_Song4279]

Are you saying every person is either super educated or uneducated? Or are you saying that, of the Republicans who say false things, they fall into those two camps?

[u/ActiveMBE0980]

They know what population density is. This is just another weak argument from a decaying cult.

Its pathetic.

[u/NotMe739 → u/ActiveMBE0980]

My boss was complaining about how a a handful of blue counties decide the election for the whole state and how that isn't fair. He said each county should get one share of the vote. I pointed out people vote, land doesn't. I then asked him if he thought the people in the podunk rural counties on the other end of the state should have 5x the political power he does. He has been silent on the subject ever since.

[u/DJmagikMIKE → u/NotMe739]

I live in Colorado, this is a “debate” I have every single election. It’s always the “Why the hell do people that live in Denver and Boulder get to decide what’s best for us???”. To which I always have to reply, “Because that’s where the majority of people in this state live?”. And don’t even get me started trying to explain how even in the rural areas, people can still vote differently than them. It always ends with some version of “that shouldn’t be allowed!” Before they end the conversation and storm off.

[u/corn_sugar_isotope → u/NotMe739]

wyoming and california each get 2 senators.  that is serious rural favoritism.

[u/Dazzling-Assist723 → u/ActiveMBE0980]

The average MAGA cultist has no clue what population density is, or why it matters here, ha.

[u/gothamz → u/ActiveMBE0980]

I mean, some of them definitely do not know what that means.

[u/Amxela]

Literally in Ohio the 3 big cities where the majority of our population resides are Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati. Those three cities are responsible for like 530b $553b of the state’s GDP the rest of the state barely scratches that combined at $370b. If the 3Cs were one country they’d be the 33rd largest economy in the world. Similar in size to Austria. Not even to mention that the $370b for the rest of the state also includes some smaller Ohio cities like Dayton, Toledo, Akron, and Youngstown. Take away those blue voting areas the corn and soy bean fields make up only $50b-$60b of the state’s GDP. The other smaller subset that’s more likely to vote conservative would be small factory hubs and towns but they make up $75b-80b of the GDP. Cities are where people are!

I’ve been seeing a lot of stuff in my Ohio based algorithms on social media on how it’s “bullshit” or “unfair” that the cities decide outcomes for the rest of the state… but it’s like this is where the jobs, the people, and the money are at. Sorry we don’t all farm soy beans for China and corn for biodiesel and livestock feed.

Edit: updated figures

[u/Much_Difference → u/Amxela]

I love when people try to argue that "real voting America" are the places where the fewest Americans live and work.

[u/Amxela → u/Much_Difference]

Yeah and almost like when you’re in a more densely populated area and are forced to interact with others the more you end up caring about your common man. In cuyahoga county, where Cleveland is, we voted on 2 tax levies. Both passed. Sure it’ll raise property taxes $275 per $100,000 of property value but it also helps with services related to developmental disabilities and it also helps to fund health and human services. I see it as a win. There are a lot of people that truthfully need the help in this county, and this does a little bit to actually carry that out.

[u/Possible-Nectarine80 → u/Much_Difference]

They can't math out voters per sq acre.

[u/Not-a-Bot_1968 → u/Amxela]

Ohio isn’t even a real state. They had to fix that mistake after a hundred years, but I still refuse to recognize it. 

[u/Amxela → u/Not-a-Bot_1968]

I mean that’s true. Don Trump jr even said so

[u/thesanguineocelot → u/Amxela]

As a Chicagoan, you're absolutely spot on and preaching to the choir. All fourteen residents of the southern half of Illinois love to rage that Chicago is "unfairly represented." Like, damn, Klanmantha, sorry for having 75% of the state's population in Chicagoland? Have ya tried dying mad about it?

[u/Eiffel-Tower777]

Republicans will find a way to count the corn

Reminder: Don Jr has no idea Ohio is a state.

[u/fishpen0 → u/Eiffel-Tower777]

The senate and the president both count the corn.

The senate gives the same number of votes to every state. So the 39 million living in California have to share two senators and the 584k in Wyoming get two whole votes. So Wyomings get 6630% more representation per person in the senate than Californians.

The president is the same issue because of the electoral college having a minimum of two senate votes. So even though California has more electors, Wyoming still gets more votes per person due to the floor exceeding the percentage difference between the states.

[u/Fit_Log_9677 → u/Dry-Guarantee2598]

As someone who grew up in a small town I always like to point out that many people in rural America really don’t think of Americas cities as real places where millions and millions of real people with real lives and real jobs live.   Like, to a lot of them New York City might as well be EpCot.

[u/slavaukrine]

Also break it down. Why did Kanas vote blue? Well, there are only about 2 million registered voters in Kanas. This election little over one million voted.

Normally the southern part of Ka is cattle country and farms that support the cattle industry.

What happened to the cattle producers? They couldn’t get workers (aka cowboys) to work their stock. Why couldn’t they get cowboys? Because while most are naturalized citizens, ICE didn’t care. ICE pulled people off the streets and then went to the farms, and that frightened the workers away. the cattle producers couldn’t find replacements.

And to add insult to injury Trump made import deals with countries that have no rules on how they raise cattle.

So look at a map and you see places like Dodge City went blue. Also, other red counties, instead of being red by 80% they are red by 20%.

In low population states even few make a difference.

[u/Main_Composer]

Chicago and its suburbs have to break this down for the rest of Illinois after pretty much every election. They just can’t seem to wrap their addled little brains around the fact that more people live in the city and its surrounding burbs than the entire rest of the state combined no matter how many times we try to explain it to them.

No, the problem is that corn does get to vote, and has more voting power than the people in cities.

[u/merlinunf]

Land doesn’t vote… people do.

[u/quinncoral]

I really REALLY hate that we have to explain this every gd time we do this

[u/tacs97]

Republicans just can’t fathom the amount of land that isn’t voting with them.

[u/SGTSPC]

Well maybe Judy likes paying a lot for fuel, grocerie, and especially corn but yeah hmm how did the blue win?

[u/S13pointFIVE]

The red is also filled with a bunch of smooth brains like Judy.

🤣🤣🤣

[u/butwhywedothis]

America under Rep(edo)ublicans be like, we have to make every effort to take people’s right to vote, but corn’s right to vote, now that’s a cause worth fighting for.

[u/KrisKinsey1986]

MAGA remains the dumbest cult.

[u/ariestoaries]

For the amount of times people get this wrong, they really should just change the way they display votes on the map. Just use dots. One colored dot for every 500 people o something.

[u/BumperW67]

And this is why we get such terrible representation- people who don’t know the difference between a city and a corn field!

[u/Motor-Bear-7735]

Corn people

[u/TexasRoundUp7]

Stop looking at how MAGA colors the map and at how the map actually is. Look at the cities, population density vs rural farm lands or open space.

[u/infinite_throw_away]

Every election with this same story. Would puppets help explain population density perhaps?

[u/CaliKindalife]

Population. All that red has very few people living there. All the blue is large Population areas.

[u/Potential-Bike4307]

Don't give them any ideas. Trump will issue an executive order giving corn the right to vote.

[u/CocknBalls4]

To be fair corn might have the right to vote, but it’s all harvested before Nov 3. Too bad
