quote: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.
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.

Showing population densities where there aren't any is totally accurate.
I don't get the point of the merging, unless it is meant to confuse. They could have much more effectively shown this information using density blobs. The blue would overrun the red but it would look natural and not forced.

Which means nothing. Nada. Zilch. Zero. Nyet
On a "FACT CHECKING" website, demonstrating the nationwide popular vote, is not a fact that needs to be checked, in an election for the US presidency
Its just proof of bias. Nothing more
