The top map is the favored map of repubs & the media. It shows the 2020 presidential election results by county. Entire counties get painted red. All of rural America gets painted red so the country looks like its way more repub than it actually is.

The bottom map shows the results by area. My right wing cousins HATE the bottom map.
