the only reason republicans win is because you allow your land to vote. it's unbelievable.
I like to point out that cows don’t vote.
The land they're on does though.

Frankly both of these maps are deceptive (though the top one is albeit more so). The dot gets colored the primary color in that region, and visually makes the Democrats seem way more dominant when it's much more bipartisan. A gradient would make this map better
the jpeg makes a lot of the smaller dots look grey too
Counterpoint: the vote is near to 50/50 and neither of those maps look anywhere close to 50/50. Come back when you've got an alternative that looks proportional, not equally bad just the other way.
Second map looks 50/50 to me, the red is just more spread out. The needs more jpeg probably doesn’t help
For the map enthused!
