map in the politics section what the hell that thing looks ridiculous look we can include maryland and delaware as being part of the south to humor those not living in reality but only on a token basis we're not actually supposed to try and integrate the two states into southern society when they really don't belong that being said the map of southern electoral votes is completely absurd you've got this big red mass with a tiny little speck of blue at the top that obviously doesn't belong but we're just going to pretend like maryland and delaware aren't two of the most heavily democratic states in the whole damn country now let's see politically who would be a closer match to maryland and delaware why pennsylvania new york new jersey illinois massachusetts connecticut rhode island oh all northern states like i said i'll pretend for the sake of mollifying the hard liners that maryland and delaware are border states everyone knows though that they're actually not and including them in an article about southern politics when their own political sentiments are so flagrantly northern is silly somebody please fix or remove this map as it's misleading nanaszczebrzeszyn
