Re: Population Doom (4.00 / 3)
Cherry-picking, some, in that map?

But let's look at the total population picture (US Census Bureau for 2013:

Total Population of the cited "red" states: 42.4 mn

Total Population of the cited "blue" states: 94.3 mn

In other words, the "red" states don't get to even half the population of the "blue" states.

Which relativises the shock value of the chart.
