If we voted by the acre, that map might mean something. But we do not and so it doesn't mean much, other than that rural precincts went overwhelmingly for Little Hands. The map gives equal weighting to Wyoming (6 people/sq mile) as Manhattan (72,000 people/sq mile). (Ignoring that the Mercator projection exaggerates the area of northern states versus southern.)

It takes effect once states representing 270 electoral votes have signed on. They're currently at 165 votes.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
