More remarkable: the earliest known #cartograms ever produced published in 1876 by Pierre Émile Levasseur.

This one scales each country by its national budget; others scaled them by area, population, and religious adherents.

This is why almost all political reporting needs to use #CARTOGRAMS.

Part of the problem, I believe, is media using geographical maps when reporting on election results which often give the impression that there's a vast sea of R voters. If #CARTOGRAMS were used, the maps would show numbers of voters & the red sea shrinks. anthonyblackham.com/cartograms/

People. If you are talking about HUMAN VOTERS instead of dirt, please use #CARTOGRAMS. I am convinced geographical "red-blue" maps are one of the worst drivers of misinformation in history. Like run this animation (check "allow state zoom") engaging-data.com/county-elect...

DEAR MR. ZAKARIA; I heard you this morning on the 1A on NPR. I have some issues with what you had to say there. I know you are a pundit, and I’m not. I also know you got it wrong. We will begin with the Whisky Rebellio...

Please check out #Cartograms. It's a whole different picture. It shows numbers of people/voters rather than geographical area. Like the one illustrating this article about the 2020 election. www.dailykos.com/stories/2024...

The Catalyst desperately needs to illustrate this story with #CARTOGRAMS to show how sparsely populated most pink regions are and how densely populated the blue ones are.
