12. The analysis he's done with those is very biased
I had been using his maps when i realized he changed the shading and skewed the 2009 physically... making it look less blue.

I had tried to add the 2008 map to his 1960-2004 animated gif when i realized it just wouldnt fit, and i couldnt just rotate the image or adjust the hue to fix it.

And when i look at his analysis on the population weighted maps, he says "this map makes clear, large portions of the country are quite evenly divided" which is not really what i see in looking at what he presents. Quite the opposite, the population map shows that the vast majority is blue/purple with only some slivers or true red.
