Odd that they highlighted that giant county in Northern Arizona. That’s Coconino county which has a population of around 150k. That’s 2% of the state’s population.

I’d like to see a map of how many of the least populated counties it takes to match the population of New York City.

Very annoying that our democracy doesn’t equally endow each voter with influence over its governance.

I’ve lived in 4 state and apparently only in the yellow areas unknowingly. I’m with the 4.5😤

any state without yellow in it will now become a single territory and work their way back into statehood. we can clump a lot together for ID MT SD ND IA. MS AR. ME NH VT. WV back into VA. i dont like this idea but fuck if i wasnt going to share it here

Wierd way to display this. Just picked some random counties like coconino county in az that only has 144k people, three counties next to it have larger population. Dumb map

Roughly half of all Canadians live in our ten largest cities, an area of about 47 thousand square km.
Canada is roughly ten million square km

Ironically the largest county in the lower 48 is on this map, and it is mostly empty… weird

This is why territory based voting is antithetical to democracy.

Once again, three of the four counties I’ve lived in make the map. But I’m pretty sure this is the first time ever for Greenville County.

This is why the electoral college is so important.

When I moved to Los Angeles a few years ago it was wild to me that just LA county had almost twice the population of my entire home state (Wisconsin).

Fun fact: the average person lives in a city larger than the average sized city.

Would be better if OP used the most densely populated counties, as the yellow would be a smaller area. Sure, San Bernardino County is one of the most populous, but it’s bigger than nine states, and has a population density of just 110 per square mile. The entire state of Wisconsin has a population density of 109 per square mile.
