I wonder how well a different curve would fit.

Looks like centre of London to the coast of France for the UK’s measurement. It would be about half that if you used the edge of London to the closest international waters.

The red-green scale here is a bit weird since it's usually used for things on a good-bad scale

Not mine, but:

>Data and Tools The 2020 county-level election data is downloaded from the New York Times county election data API and processed using a python script. Population data used is for 2018.

So I guess that's how you get the data.

No problem - I've edited my previous comment to link to where I've posted the data.

He would misinterpret it like apparently many others do

It's in my top level comment

Oh! Sorry about that... I'll edit my comment.

There are 50

Sorry - the labels would overlap a lot and clutter the graph. Would you like me to post my data table in a comment?

Here's the data:

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

Republicans are hazardous to your health.

>It’s clear there is a very strong correlation between the vote margin and population density.

What's the actual r coefficient for the first diagram? Could you share a csv or something? I wonder if "very strong correlation" might be overstating it, the inclusion of larger size data points in the scatter plot makes it seem to trend more up and right so it's a bit hard to tell visually.

Between 1999-2001 and 2018-2020, data from 34 states showed an increase in life expectancy. 14 out of the 16 states that showed a decrease in life expectancy (all but New Mexico and Arizona) voted Republican (overall) in the 2020 US presidential election.

You are absolutely correct. I was just looking at another series of charts, before this one, listed in miles and failed to check the legend on this one. I will be quiet now!

Isn’t 55 miles a shade over 80km?

Wow I never knew that Bratislava is almost in Austria. You learn something every day eh !

Hang on I can't see the chart I gotta wipe these hairs off my screen

This is what I get for having a busy day at work. -sulks-

Dublin is 55 miles to the border with Northern Ireland. Not being counted as an International border?
