    I see upon zooming very far in that the pixelated bar seems to say electoral college but under it nearly unintelligibly it has the vote breakdown. Misleading.

      It’s not misleading, that’s how the electoral college works lmao. 49% of votes could go to the second-place candidate and the first-place candidate could still win every single electoral vote. The system doesn’t care about people’s votes, only the electoral votes matter for presidential elections. The map shows exactly what it claims to show.

        Shows the vote totals below the bar. Shows the electoral votes on the bar. Super pixelated and small. It’s misleading. I understand the electoral system you condescending twat.
