There's a lot of red on that map.
That's because it's one of those stupid maps that colors in districts without regard to population density. There's a whole bunch of dark red empty land skewing the perception.
This sort of thing ought to be visualized with a dot density map or similar instead.
Also why land shouldn't get to vote (I'm looking at you, Electoral "College")
Most of it is empty land.
Yeah but it's a population density map with high density in blue and low in red.
