These two maps are a good example how data visualization influences our perception. Same election, same results, but one shows the winning party by area, one by population density. (Map Credits: Karim Douïeb, Jetpack.ai)

Edit: This is not based on the midterms this week. I wanted to point out the difference in visualization. It was originally done in 2019

@mistakenotmy Thanks for sharing this eye-opening map comparison. Now, how about a map or chart of US #Senate members, showing not just party affiliation but also the number of people that each one actually represents? Then, on to a world map of historical (but still #climate wrecking) GHG emissions, adjusted by population?

@V_olivaceus @mistakenotmy You could place two circles on each state to represent their senators, color coded by party. The size of each circle could show how many constituents they represent. Should be eye-popping!
