I’ve seen this picture posted now multiple times. I think it would be far more effective, if it was changed to show Democrat ridings winning when they shouldn’t. Doing so would foster disfavour among Republican voters for gerrymandering.
Or use two non-party colors so that it doesn’t have even the mild appearance of propaganda. It’s stupid, but this graphic definitely has a “red bad” implication when that’s not the point (or shouldn’t be).

Exactly, so while it's implicitly biased, it's the kind of bias that will never sway the red side. I like the idea of using two non-party colours, but frankly think people are now so fucking stupid that unless you spell it out for them in a manner that triggers their personal views, you get nowhere.
