I don’t understand the stats.
in 2016 304 electoral votes were deemed 57% of the electoral votes
but in 2020 306 electoral votes were 51% of the electoral vote.

I assume the denominator of electoral votes did not increase. What am I missing?

It’s interesting to see that you simply stated verifiable facts about the 2020 election reality and some choose to view the facts through their individual political lenses. It was sad to see some were recent graduates. I would like to hope we’re teaching the next generation to think critically and have the ability to separate personal beliefs, biases, and opinion from hard cold facts. Alternative facts or sticking our heads in the sand never ends well. It was also interesting that not one of the stated facts were refuted. My overall point was to balance the commentary and share my opinion that I was thoroughly impressed with the design and helpful information on the site. I feel geographically smarter and saved the link for future reference. You’re doing a good job and providing a valuable service. Stay focused and keep improving as you continue to serve our country and the world.

I was enjoying your website immensely until I came across your partisan viewpoint on the 2020 election. I studied for a masters degree in Geography from Cal State Northridge. Thankfully professors at CSUN were committed to presenting both sides of an issue and letting students make the choice. You cheapen yourselves by inserting poorly written political takes on an otherwise brilliant mapping site. If your agenda is converting school-aged children into Democrats, so be it. But those of us who appreciate GIS and want a landing page that is committed to integrity and the scientific principle will look elsewhere.

I was enjoying reading about the presidents and elections over the past 100+ years From an unbiased stand point. That is, until we got to modern times… The writer became seemingly biased as we hit the 2016 – 2020 marker. I could imagine most people disagreeing with me on my view point due to an obvious aggression regarding our current presidential situation. Point is, one could easily notice that the writer was speaking from a position of first-hand involvement rather than the previous elections I had read about in which the writer would not have been able to have had first hand knowledge from a live witness standpoint. creating a munch more intriguing unbiased read!
Furthermore, I had become disappointed as I got to the recent write ups regarding our current USA elections and statuses.
Thanks for reading!
