(I also love the unintentional implication that Alaska and Hawaii only exist for one map)

If only democrats voted, it would flood the entire US under water.

If only republicans voted, it would flood the entire US under lava.

What's really neat is, if everyone voted, the result would be the one on top.

VOTE!! Volunteer to give rides to those that wouldn't be able to make it without.

Crazy!

Another crazy fact...

Half of Americans make up 50% of the US population.

I won't tell you which half though! (JK it's the top half)

Maybe I'm experiencing a "whoosh" here...but what's the point? If only one side or the other votes of course it will look only one color or the other?

Those damn democrats wanna take away the names of states!

On the plus side, they didn't invade Hawaii on behalf of United Fruit (now Chiquita) and apparently let Canada have Alaska.

Swings and roundabouts, as the Brits say 🤷

Ackshually this only shows maps if 100% of the land area voted. Humans are much smaller than shown here.

It's weird how they claim a party affiliation for the state and not for the parts-of-the-state-where-people-live.

Understandable. Here you go, this image shows a single person (to scale) off the coast of South Carolina: https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/21959a6e-4413-4627-8dcf-76f88b314f72.jpeg
