Compared to constantly seeing the "winner takes all" election result maps, I think this type of map is a good reminder that a strong diversity of opinion exists in most states.

I thought Texas was extremely red what?!?!

Texas is gerrymandered to hell which means their reps and state legislature are very Republican. But it's purple enough people recently frequently hope they can flip a Senate seat there.

Texas is big and tends to go red in the winner-takes-all system, but it also has more blue voters than some states have voters total.
