  1. Super cool visualization. The difference between black and hispanic voters is crazy to me considering how aggrssive Trumps rhetoric has been towards hispanics, also before the election. The white votes are pretty much as expected. Asian are more diverse than I expected, maybe a bit more blue.

  2. Am I doing something wrong? When I hover over precints in dowtown Chicago [in the loop] it is showing well under 1,000 total votes.

  3. Also, land doesn’t vote. These maps that color entire districts or regions for the winner make it look like a landslide. There are some that also show a consideration for the population, and some that show the proportion of votes not just the majority, much like the spikes in this map. Tends to make it way more neutral and much less red.

    Trump played the electoral college well and won through that game.

    The blues lost through optimism and lack of effort. Precipitous drop in turnout, probably thinking there’s no way it could turn out like it did.

    As someone who spent the last three years leading up to the 2024 election in South Jersey… this tracks.

  5. Maybe a dumb question, but does anyone know what software was used to build and make this interactive map on a website? It looks a bit more complex than ArcGIS online.

    Wait till you overlay the average education level of individuals over the age of 25 on top of this…Near identical. When DT (FDT) said smart people don’t like him, this is what he meant. EDUCATED people don’t vote for him.

  7. I’m sorry, I’m sure they did great in the information, but this is such an odd way to do population density… Why not blocks or add, the Racial Dot Map of America did, dots that show it on a 2D surface?

  8. All these people advocating for civil war over different political ideologies thinking there will be any sort of contiguous clearly defined borders for either side need to look at this carefully and also just fucking stop it.

  9. Most rural folks see a sea of red and don’t fully understand that land does not vote, people do. This is also why the Senate representation is all screwed up. States with small rural populations shouldn’t have two Senators, which is the same number of Senators states with large populations get.

    I would like to see a color for unregistered voters and registered voters that didn’t vote. That might add to the story.

    Nothing impressive or valuable in this, it’s just a map of population density. Poor methodology results in useless results.
