The maps are somewhat (ok, a lot) misleading because they show land area, not population. Duck Dynasty looks like a giant hit in Harney County, Oregon, but come on, there's only 7,146 people living there (2013).

But if almost everyone that lived there loved it the the the label is accurate. You think it's misleading because it doesn't convey a population density component?

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. That map, at least at first glance, makes Duck Dynasty look like a giant hit in Oregon. You have to read the fine print to find out that it's essentially just because a bar in Burns has a satellite dish.

Well, it makes it look like a big hit in Harney County, OR, and a flop in Portland. Which appears to be accurate-- of the people in Harney County, lots of them watch Duck Dynasty. There isn't much fine print there.

In the United States, land gets a vote because of the Electoral College and how senators are elected. Thus the map is not as misleading as you might believe. If you were only to look at population, you would conclude that Clinton won the election, but she did not.
