How to draw American land?

Maps are mainly composed of strip maps and square maps.

The "blue" and "red" bar charts show the electoral votes of the Democratic Party (DEM) and Donald Trump (REP) respectively. There are 538 electoral votes * * *, and whoever has more than 270 votes is the winner.

The map shows the electoral votes of 50 States+District of Columbia with "squares".

It is helpful to understand the data by referring to the relevant voting rules of the US election:

(1) Winner takes all.

Except Maine (ME) and Nebraska (NE), whoever gets more than half of the popular votes in other constituencies will get all the electoral votes in this constituency.

For example, in the picture below, Biden won more than half (58.36%) of the voters' votes in Washington, and he also won.

Washington all 12 electoral votes (electoral votes).

(2) the principle of "regional zoning law"

Only MaiNE (ME) and Nebraska (ne) follow this principle. Next, NE and I have blue tickets and red tickets in the same state.

Simply put, Maine (ME) consists of a state constituency and two small constituencies, Nebraska (ne) constituency and three small constituencies. Among them, the state constituency corresponds to 2 electoral votes, each small constituency corresponds to 1 electoral votes, and the state constituency and small constituency count the votes independently.
