GovTrack.usSeeing comments writing off the Deep South bc the commenters don’t like some of the politicians there. These folks should consider that when they do that, they’re making the same mistake that white nationalists do: assuming that the only people who exist and/or matter are white Republicans. There are lots and lots of people in the Deep South who, for a host of historical & intentional reasons, cannot fully participate politically. When you write off their states, you write them off too.

I agree:
Land doesn't vote, people do. But election maps like this one (2020 Presidential) can trick you into thinking most people in NC voted Republican. In reality, it was almost an even split.
The way most electoral systems in the US are set up, areas of low population density are disproportionately represented (and tend to vote Conservative).
Just because a state has a Republican government, doesn't mean the majority of people living there voted for them.
