Quote History The demographic breakdown and it's theoretical impact on the Electoral College is interesting, but ultimately, a state-level map doesn't offer any useful conclusions.
And a county or precinct-level map doesn't help much either, it's still very misleading. There's no weight given to percentages, or proportionality in population density. In the simplistic "winner takes all" way of coloring in the map, it does nothing to account for a red county with only 200 people, and conversely, does nothing to properly represent a blue city population in the millions, that still has a significant number of opposing voters, just not a majority.
A similar map, a Value-By-Alpha map, that accounts for
both population density and for vote percentage is somewhat more informative. Fed.gov land, State lands, and very low density populations fade to white as the "Alpha channel" is applied. If anybody uses image editing or more advanced paint programs, they're probably familiar with what an Alpha channel does. It provides either opacity, or intensity. It still doesn't account for population densities within the county or precinct borders though.
And finally a Dasymetric map, that plots points for people based on known population densities also provides a more clear picture.
The only conclusion I can draw is that we're largely packed in nuts-to-buts in America, and on the more peaceful end, the amount of moving/relocation needed, or the number of people who can't move who'll just have to suck it up and live under the rule of the other side, would be enormous. Of the less savory options, the numbers might not go as high as Stalin and Mao racked up.
