Horrible maps, definitely. I vastly prefer the way Atlas does it.

HM. They make it difficult to know exactly how the votes were split and which candidate won which district.

Looks terrible. Atlas method or dividing a section of the state off would make more sense.

Awful, Atlas does it right. Three little squares in the middle of the state. Looks much better.

Atlas CD maps are Freedom Maps.
Purple maps are Horrible Maps.
Striped maps are Moderate Hero Maps.

Both are stupid and confusing maps.

HM. Would prefer if they were split up into the actual districts.

Makes me angry.  Makes me want to vote for Trump.

The Atlas way is better, but I don't like how the 3 boxes in Nebraska are 1-2-3, but they go 3-1-2 in real life.

I'd be fine with it if they made the NE-2 stripes 1/4 the size of the red stripes and the ME-2 stripes 1/3 the size of the blue stripes to signify that it's not half the electoral votes that are tossups.

Striped maps are theoretically fine, but they leave too much unclear

The squares on the state make the most sense, but it'd be a lot better if they just put "1" "2" and "3" on them instead of just blank boxes.   That can't be all that difficult to code in.

My preferred map would be to colour in those two states by district, with separate boxes within those states to show who won the statewide vote. But the way Atlas does it is good too.
