Hard to believe there is no data on corn fields in the home state of the Corn Palace.
ayyyy lifelong nebraska resident here! you can absolutely tell if you ever drive through here, shit’s ALL farmland.
Monocultures are environmentally devastating btw.
Indiana Beach commercials did not lie to me after all!
There is a massive swing in each of those colors.
Yeah, 10%, 20%, and 37% should each be buffet colors.
I can’t imagine 1/3 of everything you see in an entire state being corn.
Try driving through it. It’s horrible.
Can confirm. I live in the Midwest.
TIL most US corn is Republican
The second highest on this map, illinois, is a Dem state
Multiple counties in Illinois voted in favor of exploring secession from the state because they don’t like how Chicago turns the state blue. It would definitely be a red state without us.
Every state would be a red state without the major cities.
Except Massachusetts apparently.
I was just looking at some of the recent voting data by state and one of the southwestern or Western states was only 6k votes from electing Harris. I think there were only about 100k votes total. Maybe it was Oklahoma?
I find that interesting yet hard to believe.
I tried to search for the info but Google is failing me and I’m too lazy to click a bunch of States on an interactive map.
I just have been looking at numbers on election night or something.
There’s still a lot of States that were extremely close and if it weren’t for death by a thousand cuts, then Republicans would have no chance of winning. They have to have alll the voter disenfrachising, spiking the 2020 census in blue states, and all the other dirty tricks in order to win.
It’s funny that they need all those dirty tricks when they already have the massive electoral college advantage.
And then all that pales in comparison to people not voting. Needs to be mandatory like Australia. Send in a blank ballot if you’re so against it but you will do it.
Only because of Chicago & C®ook County. Virtually the rest of Illinois is red.
Yup, and Michigan and Wisconsin are swing states. It’s still the vast majority.
still majority yes, but also minnesota is a solid blue state. It’s maybe like a 75/25 split which isn’t that radical.
In fact, of the yellows, there are 3 Democratic, 2 Swing States, and 5 Republican.
How does Nebraska factor? Last election they were 2 votes blue three votes red.
I only found Minnesota and Illinois as consistently Democratic voting states. What’s the third?
Edit: I just saw Delaware.
To be fair, the corn isn’t growing in the blue part of Illinois
Never been to Chicagoland? Every empty field is filled in with corn. Smash a gas station flat? Now it’s a cornfield.
Yes it is. As a resident, I can attest that the corn is growing about damn near everywhere.
Drove through North Dakota once. It was all corn for hours. Absolutely stupid amounts.
Having lived in Chicagoland, what are the corn growing incentives there?! Every empty field in the city is full of corn. Seems smart.
Drainage and flood risk. Chicago is basically a swamp. Idk about every lot, there’s probably ridiculous tax loopholes and kick backs, etc what with it being Illinois. But there’s a lot of shit land in and around Chicago
We are the children…of ethanol.
I don’t agree with the color choice. Green would’ve been much nicer.
It all should have been shades of yellow.
This makes me wonder what the map creator considers a green amount of corn to be lol. 100%?
/r/isdatabeautiful
To be fair, corn is yellow
0.4 and 0.7% are different colors, but 10 and 37% are the same
And how do we have NO DATA about the crops growing in any state?
Corn has consumed anyone who could answer.
if the numbers seem low dont forget about soy. and maybe wheat or alfalfa
Get your shit together, Alaska!
Embarrassing
“No data“ it at that point
No Data = Stealth Corn
Imaginary corn. Like John Peters, you know, the farmer, grows.
Honestly it fits my theory that one of the Dakotas doesn’t really exist.
It’s probably where all the birds are controlled from.
One of them certainly shouldn’t exist. The fact that that area is split into two states is only to have two more Republican Senators.
State borders are strange. Like why the part of Florida in the central time zone isn’t just Alabama doesn’t make sense to me.
