a real blue splotch that had been really purple real bluing here

I'm pretty sure Wisconsin is the most county shift from the Republican to the Democratic category

and actually he's done a better job of preserving geographical shape
事實(shí)上這幅地圖更好地保留和體現(xiàn)了地區(qū)的形狀
as you can see San Francisco is actually being able to keep the shape pretty well
例如你能從圖中認(rèn)出三藩市 它的形狀就保留得非常好
I'm sure some physicists
我想這些物理學(xué)家
I'm sure there's a very complicated algorithm
一定要通過(guò)非常復(fù)雜的算法計(jì)算
he's going into creating this map but he got it up in a day which was amazing to me

we can see things like the Black Belt here stretched really thin
我們看到圖中的沃土地帶狹長(zhǎng)地延伸開(kāi)來(lái)
because those counties don't have a lot of people and a lot of them are losing population
這是因?yàn)檫@些縣人口較少 且他們的人口仍在繼續(xù)下降

look at the Upper Mississippi River up here, a purple zone, now a pretty blue zone

look in Arkansas and parts of Oklahoma where had been purple now much redder
