Nah, the snopes graphic doesn't really tell me anything factual.

It would have taken more effort than hitting one button in gimp but the original map with varying shades of red and blue based on margins would have been ideal.

Yes it does. It shows the same map accounted for population density. There are multiple ways to show it, but it provides unique information that can't be presented in the other map.

I agree that shading is more useful, but even that doesn't show everything. It's just an alternative way to few it, and everything is going to have strengths and weaknesses in isolation.
