After his election President Donald Trump was quick to hang a 2016 election map upwardly inwards the West Wing. This electoral college map is generally colored cherry-red amongst a few splashes of blueish reflecting how the country's electoral districts voted. While looking at this map Trump tin temporarily forget he lost the pop vote as well as pretend that he is universally loved across the United States.
However non all election maps say the same story. The Presidential election 2016: dasymetric point density map is a point map of the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. On the map i point equals i vote. So i cherry-red point equals i vote for the Republican candidate as well as i blueish vote equals i vote for the Democratic candidate.
This point map provides a much amend visualization of the overall release of votes for each candidate, compared to the electoral college map. It allows us to encounter where Trump (or Clinton) genuinely did dominate the vote as well as where voting was much to a greater extent than even.
The map was created yesteryear Kenneth Field as well as you lot tin read to a greater extent than nigh how the map was made on his Cartonerd blog.
