thank you for the colorful image. this sort of display plays to the idea that geographic expanse correlates to political importance. because more of the country is depicted in red, in other words, it obviously follows that this is the predominant mindset.
you could have represented that the majority of American voters cast votes for W numerically; he earned 51% of the popular vote. instead, you chose to express it this way. your means harks back to the early days of "representative" government in America, when property-owning white males were privileged to participate.
you are not the first to express, implicitly or explicitly, that those inhabiting the vast rural expanse deserve extra political power. even the founders subscribed to this view. note the makeup of the US senate. however, i have found that most who still advance the view that America's urban centers have too much political clout tend to be somewhat racist. at the very least, they are anti-democratic. one person, one vote has been settled constitutional law in the US for four decades.
