Is it just me or does the new map with atlas colors look wrong

Problem with this comparison is that Fighting Bob was focused on one state. One would need to add the number of votes for each candidate together state by state in a spreadsheet then put that through an apportionment calculator to get a truly fair map.

So here is Johnson vs. La Follette with apportionment based on only their number of votes combined.



Johnson only barely wins, largely because the South had a lot of EVs taken since La Follette got basically no votes there and Johnson didn't do great there either. Tipping point state is Washington, which was won by 3.26%—around 10,000 votes. Closest state was Massachusetts, La Follette won by 1.16%—just about 3,200 votes.

Interestingly, if La Follette had won WA, he'd have won the election with just 18/48 states
