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 I wish I could remember her name but she gave a very good explanation with regard to rural populations and their interaction w the government. Historically rural areas interaction w gov comes in the form of regulation vs big city populations have more positive interactions via public transportation, smog regulations ect
Probably an over simplification & not doing justice to her full explanation but it made sense when i heard it
