Given Trump's win was such a blowout, you might be surprised to see that the 2020 map, shaded the same way, looks like this:
how high res can you do this i wonder? there were maps showing great differences within new york city
When you get down to that sort of very local level, you can get very strong red-blue contrasts. But usually when there's a sizable population, it's purple.

The banding is too wide. Saying any state between R+ 14.9 and D +14.9 is "50% Split purple" isn't saying anything at all. Here is a map with smooth gradient:
I think the county map is more accurate. It's not the whole state is purple. It's deep blue cities surrounded by red.
Given that it's a 51-48 win I'm not sure blowout is the appropriate terminology
"State" is an arbitrary aggregation that makes the map look much more Sh¡tL¡b than it actually is.
Your color indexing is equally arbitrary and poor.
Haven't you ever seen a precinct-level map???? 
Americans always complaining about polarisation and lack of choices, why not just ... not do First Past The Post + Winner Take All
Trump won Texas by 14%. Florida by 13%.
Why are they 50-50 split? Is this registrations?

Elon, RFK Jr, Tom Cotton?
In this case having each state with a circle diagram might be best.
I don't think this represents people's core political views, because as soon as there's an economic downturn, the incumbents will be thrown out, and the vote will shift again. One 2008 scenario will turn the map blue overnight.

Well, pure blue is a little bit purple already, same for red.
Of course it would when you mute the colors and set the boundaries at either end. This needs to be done at a county level
It’s important in this analysis to include population centers. Smearing the population over the entire state tells a washed out story.
I see link + git and I’ll be able to read it soon to check, but this looking at presidential results, right?
Wanna see what happens when you go down ballot, will be a few hours until I’m back at my comp though

The most conservative states have 4/10 voting blue & visa versa

The red vs. blue divide isn't as sharp as it seems—there’s a lot of purple in between.

This is not correct. Even basic googling at the state level of Texas and California for results shows that
If the bluer states have voter ID at elections, the states would be a much redder purple.
Thank you, the circulating US county results maps are nauseatingly misleading.
65% is an arbitrarily high bar. 55/45 is a huge split and would have been more appropriate. This seems like someone started out to make a graph that conveyed their point, and -- surprise! -- succeeded.
How you gonna correct for states with no voter id and automatic motor voter registration with no proof of citizenship?
Great post. A gradient map like this is a much more accurate way to appreciate the sentiment of the nation
Traditional “boolean” style maps actually seem really silly and misleading in comparison

Dislike the shading. It’s nonsense. My state actually IS like this.
Love it when maps have shitty color scheme that makes the data more or less illegible
Let's take Nevada. According to your post, the shading for that state represents a 50% split. Nevada has 17 counties, but practically all of those counties, apart from Clark County where Las vegas is located, are more than 70% Republican. Clark County is +8,000 square miles,

Voter turnout in this year’s presidential election is expected to be close to the record high set in 2020.
See how turnout in each state compares across the U.S.
No it's not, sorry. This is very misleading, but whatever makes you sleep better
Isn’t there an X user that only features horrible maps? Paging
I'm not convinced this is really meaningful this year. A lot of people voted based on the candidate they hated the most, not necessarily the party they like the most.
There's almost a 1:1 relationship between the democrat party and population density, and if you evaluate those places you know they're not paradise. Peer pressure and the effects of toxic politics are real:
I like to say the world should be viewed as knobs or dials instead of switches.
