The United States Certainly Look Red! 😲

Visualizing vote ratios on a county level for the 2020 presidential election

Note: If you received the email for this post, the data was wrong due to a bug in the data processing code. I apologize for that.

Few occasions produce more nail-biting than the US presidential election, but how do the results look on a county level? Well, have a look. 👇

What’s happening here?

• Over 80% (!) of counties in the United States voted in favor of Donald Trump

• But those counties only make up for 40% of the total counts

• Consequently, the United States looks like a red country in this data visualization

• But the blue areas are primarily cities and have significantly higher populations
