i love how they are trying to stress the importance of the blue areas by turning the US map into a melty lava lamp.
I FOR ONE REST BETTER AT NIGHT KNOWING OUR GOOD FRIENDS ARE GOING TO USE FACTS TO SAVE US FROM THIS ILLEGITIMATE DICTATOR

the red areas appear overwhelmingly in the majority, despite the closeness of the vote. Again, we can make a more helpful representation by using a cartogram. Here is what the cartogram looks like for the county-level election returns:

Land doesn't vote.

All that work on the diarrhea map and Trump is STILL the president...

I'm no fan of Snopes, but what's so funny about using a cartogram here?

Louisiana still red. It makes me proud to be a pelican!

Snopes is fake news

first thing you see on that site before reading everything is those 2 images.
i literally spit coffee on my computer at the lava lamp image of the US even though i know what they're getting at.
i think its how liberals view their importance as part of the US.

Is that the official image of the liberal melt? Looks pretty melty to me.

Looks like someone just shot a Ivory billed Woodpecker, flying...Dang environmentalists-agenda?

Exactly.
Look, I voted for Trump. I'm more than happy that he won, but the 2nd map isn't exactly incorrect. Yes, the areas in blue in the first map are (area wise) relatively small when compared to the red areas. However, for the most part, the areas in blue are huge population centers.
Though it isn't the "official score", popular vote-wise, the election was very close.

2nd image isn't even shaped like the U.S. What a bunch of maroons over at Snopes

Which is why Trump lost the popular vote by the largest margin ever.

MELT!

Because they know how effective the other map has been online... so they want a new map that shows a literally warped view to cover total vote count in terms of land mass ratios.
Snopes is liberal. They want to show a liberal angle. It's hilarious to those of us that recognize that b/c it's yet another vain attempt to control thought with a ridiculous looking map.

And is still the president.

That second map is accurate and it's why I REALLY want California to GTFO
Posted on 1/23/17 at 10:29 am to CAD703X
So you'd rather see how vast stretches of tumbleweeds voted. You realize that no matter how much of the map is red, the blue contained more votes, right?

Tell us how much that matters?
Here's a hint

Looks like someone is working hard to deny the truth
