 Where does the .5 in the table for NY and CT come from? I can see that two markers sit across the border for the two states, but it personally seems to me that the numbers can be more accurate with some editing.

 :Well, I added the 0.5s for CT because I could see the markers sitting across the border. But since the full table wasn't available yet at that time, I didn't know whether it was split on purpose or just lack of space. If it's more accurate to assign the markers to either state, then feel to do that. [[Special:Contributions/162.158.159.18|162.158.159.18]] 10:13, 18 December 2020 (UTC)

 It seems to me that one of the main messages in this comic is that voters for both Trump and Biden are pretty well distributed around the country.  Looking at the typical choropleth maps with states colored red or blue, it can seem that the political division in the country is also a geographical division.  This map, and the title text, emphasize that, at the scale of the whole country, that really isn't the case.  The urban/suburban/rural breakdown isn't all that evident at this scale.

 : ''The urban/suburban/rural breakdown isn't all that evident at this scale'': au contraire, it's quite clear that the denser the area, the more Biden voters there are, even in red states. See Texas for instance, where around big cities you have more blue dots than red.[[Special:Contributions/141.101.107.160|141.101.107.160]] 10:51, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
