It reminds me of ... I think it was the 'post hoc' fallacy... or maybe it was the 'precedence' fallacy.... "Last year in county XYZ 20% more asphalt was poured." "This year, in XYZ the rainfall was up 18%." "Therefore: we have proved that asphalt causes rain!" <G>

Well neo, if the map is not really useful to you, have you considered that maybe you don't know how to ask useful questions? I don't find the map amusing. I find amusing how so many demonstrate their inability to read and how the map helps illustrate that. I like a reliable test method. It's also amusing the whining dance some go thru when caught. I find the map a warning of the danger of those who think their vote is not important. 16 million more Americans. Several million who could have voted. I also think it speaks to how the majority of Americans of any age believe who should have been president. That is to say I believe that the majority of American who could vote believed that PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH should be president. In many places many did not vote because the knew Bush would win their area by a large margin. What factors caused lower turnout. Only the electors vote count. All other addition is just political spin. I thought you had agreed to that proposition of relevant and irrelevant. I guess I was mistaken.
