You just violated your first statement.
They didn't get too political. They got a little political.
To talk politics in a hopefully unbiased way, he notes that red/blue state level maps of politics gloss over a lot of detail and that maps at the congressional district level reveal the battleground districts and also gerrymandering.
That this is flagged is just sad. GIS is a fun hobby that I think lots of programmers would love to get more into, and the link to MN's map archives is really neat. I live there and had no idea those existed!
Many geographers are into cartography.
We need more nerds/scientists/engineers in politics. I know zero about this guy, but learning that he's "into maps" is a hugely positive signal to me.
Who agrees?
Who agrees?
What if he's really into gerrymandering?
At first I was disappointed they didn't pick Mark Kelly, the astronaut. But now after seeing this, I am much more positive as well.
