Macht jeder Landkreis prozentual mehr Anteile an der Gesamtbevölkerung der Vereinigten Staaten aus oder ist der Anteil der Fläche prozentual größer?

  2. Red: population density higher than average population density of the US

    Green: population density lower than average population density of the US

    This map is basically the right’s justification for using electors. Land gets more votes that humans.

    This just illustrates how laughably outdated the whole “50 separate states” concept is. Especially on the east coast. It’s not the 1800s anymore, but don’t tell our state borders that. Distance is no longer such a limiting factor nowadays with freeways and air travel, so a better way to organize the country would be to have 7 or 8 larger territories that more equally divide up the population between them. 

    The “tradition” associated with our current state borders is holding us back and keeping us slow and inefficient. These state borders are also riddled with old surveying errors that got permanently baked-in, as well as scars left over from slavery and secession. State borders changed many times following the revolutionary war, but after a certain point, we collectively decided that these ultimately arbitrary borders must never be changed again, for no particularly good reason. The whole New England urban megaregion especially should just be one state at this point. 

  5. If you fly a lot and look out the window seat, this map makes a lot of sense.
