Map of political donations by state

Pretty interesting stuff.

It is. I hope it translates into votes. Would be interested in the 2016 map just to compare.

It's interesting how they are looking at "advantage". Those central states which are in the middle of the color spectrum (Nebraska, etc) are all STRONGLY in Trump's favor, donations-wise (Trump has received 67%+ in each of them). If you were to look at it as shaded by percentage of donations in each state, the map gets a LOT darker red.

Am I reading correctly that Cali donations are almost equal?

I would rather see an analysis of the number of donations as opposed to the total amount. I know campaign finance laws even that out a bit, but there could be a lot of Democrats donating $20 while Republicans give the max. Their votes are all equal.

Also, a weird side note: the article linked in that map did an amazing job of picking the photos used to represent each state's detailed analysis. I mean, they should have turned this into a Travel article.

Just as interesting is the BLUE state donations are closer to a 50-50 split, whereas the RED states are more like 80-20 split.

Illinois, California and Pennsylvania could just as easily be RED. NY looks like 2-1 in favor of Biden.

Minnesota coming in hot

damn, new jersey is red?

Damn. Very one sided for Trump in modest income state’s. Rich folk love the dems.

Anyone know how Closely these things mirror an actual election result?

Even Oregon is red? Maybe we should re-implement a poll tax.
