Both maps in the article are misleading, because it's one person, one vote, not "one acre, one vote".

All that bright red area in the 2024 presidential results, and the orange "no" areas in California, are mostly sparsely populated counties. The maps exaggerate the importance of large land areas with few voters. Cows don't vote!

The presidential map is doubly misleading: the bright red and blue colors hide what proportion of a county's voters voted Republican or Democratic. 51%-49% and 99%-1% look the same.

Trump's nationwide margin was one of the smallest in history, not at all a landslide!

Better: maps where area is made proportional to the number of people.

Maps like these, from engaging-data.com and apnews.com. (For the presidential vote, county populations are an imperfect approximation of actual votes, but that's what I found in a quick web search.)

California's Prop 50 to combat Trump's blatant rigging of our elections is listed here.

Californians: This is the whole ballgame. Vote YES on Prop 50.
