This US Election Map by County lets you toggle between showing land area and population size. This is for folks (or sharing with folks) who think that large swaths of unpopulated land that happens to be red means that Trump won in 2020. I recently updated it to also let you zoom in on individual states to get a breakdown of individual counties in a given state.

Noooo it’s not all red like it’s supposed to be.
Don’t you know that votes are counted by square mileage??
