My Cats have predicted the outcome of the election! (facetious)

Two years ago, I had my cats predict the outcome of the midterm election using their litter boxes. They didn't give me the results I'd hoped for, and as it turned out, even they were too optimistic.

This time, my cats have predicted the outcome of the upcoming presidential election, using slightly different rules but the same general idea: poop = votes, litter box = ballot box. This time, I got a much nicer-looking result, and I hope the actual map ends up being even bluer!

Matching the actual numbers and the regional strengths that the cats predicted took a few contortions, making it appear that the cats have predicted a few "longshot" states, but what the heck, stranger things have happened.

Anyways, here it is. Enjoy! Please consider visiting the actual Youtube page and leaving pro-Democratic comments in the comment section. Thanks!
