As in many states, the popular vote represents urban areas.
See 2018 by township. The blue is mostly urban and city suburb.

Yeah. Thank God that land can't vote.

The land is over-represented in every other respect: state legislatures, congressional seats, senate seats for low pop states.
That land has a megaphone in our government.

It can't. But most of that land is also now owned by corporations. A lot of it isn't even populated, which is why I think there has to be a better way to illustrate demographics.

Maybe dots in those areas that would represent population. So relatively empty spaces would have a small dots far apart and cities would have lots of dots jammed together.

Yes. That's where the people live. Crops don't vote.

It's well known that crops are very politically irresponsible after all.

Damn it's like every person has a vote. Who the hell cares what the land with nobody on it thinks?
