Unfortunately I am not the original creator of this map, however election results and demographics are provided by every state’s Secretary of State and/or elections office, and is accessible via each state’s respective website. For example, this is the website for Ohio.

Yeah, I understand that, and I’ve made the conscious decision to remove the commentary as I’ve realized my error. I am interested in how this pattern may hold up in prior elections. I’ll have to do some more looking.

Yes. State recorders typically divide votes by demographics in raw data, so this data consists of the ratio of red:blue votes for both of those categories of voting.

Good point! I’ll see if the author has the same map for any previous elections.

Edit: So it seems like the maps were made as a part of a series by u/DustinGibson a while back. As far as I know, he has not posted any other elections.

Accidental renaissance

Music’s had the same(ish) notation system since the 1600s at least, and yet throughout most varied genres (in WESTERN music) up to this day, it still has done its job pretty well.
