Original Note:
These red-heavy district maps reappear after elections, implying the US is mostly conservative. But most Americans live in dense urban areas leaning Democratic. Focusing on land, not voters, distorts the true balance of electoral support. In reality, the difference is small. https://vop.org/study-finds-red-and-blue-districts-not-as-polarized-as-conventional-wisdom-suggests/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_counties_and_county_equivalents
