Chris Howard: America really looks like this - I was looking at the amazing 2012 election maps created by Mark Newman (Department of Physics and Center for the Study of Complex Systems, University of Michigan, http://www-personal.umich.edu/~mejn/election/2012 ), and although there is a very interesting blended voting map (Most of the country is some shade of purple, a varied blend of Democrat blue and Republican red) what I really wanted was this blended map with a population density overlay. Because what really stands out is how red the nation seems to be when you do not take the voting population into account; when you do so many of those vast red mid-west blocks fade into pale pink and lavender (very low population).

So I created a new map using Mark’s blended voting map based on the actual numbers of votes for each party overlaid with population maps from Texas Tech University and other sources.

Here’s the result—what the American political voting distribution really looks like.

Now THIS is the most accurate map that I’ve seen, and it is fascinating.

Reproductive rights are on a “dangerous precipice” across the United States, according to the Population Institute. In its recent report, the organization assigned letter grades to each state based on their policies affecting reproductive health. And the overall grade for the U.S. a whole is not good.

Point Nemo: the point in the ocean farthest from land. Here you are surrounded by nearly 9 million square miles of water.

Ok, but literally, how did someone determine this? Out of all the places in the ocean that this could have been, it must have taken a lifetime finding Nemo.
