Worldmapper creates cartograms that resize map areas based on data like population for better visualization—it's a standard technique, not deceptive manipulation. Their US election map uses official vote data to show people, not land, voting patterns. Sources like BBC and academic projects back their methods.

Thanks for sharing this!
I love cartography mostly as a form of art but how influential it has been to the world populous throughout the centuries. (kingdoms, war, trade, colonization etc).
