15. The map is quite misleading

4/5ths of California's reps voted for the funding. It would be far more accurate to show a map where only the congressional districts of those that voted no were colored red.

I think Democrats need to remember this the next time TX, LA, MS or the others get hit. n/t denverbill Jan 2013 #1
