Always remember that policy universally is promoted to further the agenda of a given party! Many republican politicians opt for the abolition of early/absentee voting, and democrats the opposite. Bear in mind that these policies are not just ideological rhetoric, but political play, intended to benefit the ruling party rather than the wider people.
Wide belief among Republicans that Covid wasn’t real
Ergo, wide movement against changing elections around Covid
For these reasons alone, using any election map like this from 2020 is outside any norm. What about the 2016 or 2012 map? It may look similar, but won’t be nearly as drastic.
Good point! I’ll see if the author has the same map for any previous elections.
Edit: So it seems like the maps were made as a part of a series by u/DustinGibson a while back. As far as I know, he has not posted any other elections.
