Validation for what, exactly?

For Hillarys popular vote 'win'

1) The map is inaccurate, because its not how we elect presidents

2) The map is inaccurate, because if important, then the candidates would have campaigned better

3) The map is inaccurate, or else they would have posted a cartogram of electoral importance (which btw, wouldn't look much different from the counties map)


That's why its used. As a validation of efforts that weren't in vain. And deserved to be rewarded by a liberal presidency. Retarded!

The map makes no claims to what you're stating.

It's simply a population demographic of how individuals voted, nothing more.

Weird to see people melting over a map.

I'm finding validation for HRC's popular vote win? That will come as a surprise to those who know that I was #neverHillary.

The map is not inaccurate. The data it displays is simply that, data. By all means, claim that people using the data to make some sort of pro-HRC are making ridiculous claims, but the map itself is not inaccurate.

That has nothing to do with the accuracy of the map. It may not be able to tell who won the EC, but neither can the other map. That's not what they are showing though.

This is irrelevant to the map. How hard it is it to figure out that it's showing?

It probably would look much different since the map is even more disproportionately red than the EC.

Regardless, you seem to want a different map, which is fine. But that doesn't make great map inaccurate.

Your post really makes no sense.
