Races Colored In Too Early

Multiple races including Iowa's 1st, Maine's 2nd, Ohio's 9th and others have not been called by all five news networks on the Wikipedia guidelines. The colors should be made gray or a lighter shade of red and blue until the projections are unanimous. Timetorockknowlege (talk) 05:02, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Why so many insets?

Why on earth are there a whopping 40 insets for this map? I do agree that prior maps had far too few insets, but this is absolutely insane. I can hardly tell what some of these insets, like Jacksonville, New Orleans, or Memphis, are supposed to actually show people. About half of these should be culled.

Many of those inserts (Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Portland, New Orleans, Memphis, etc.) seem to exist only to call out the city. The congressional districts serving them are readily visible in the full frame. And if it's unclear someone can zoom in on the SVG. Only doing this where it's absolutely necessary makes the most sense. —Tcr25 (talk) 16:46, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

I've now uploaded a new version that's more in line with what we've done in previous years. It's no longer wider than the continental US; I hope this is an acceptable compromise to you User:沁水湾 & User:Matthew McMullin. Feel free to continue improving of course; I'm certainly no SVG wizard. The many-insets model is not more informative than it is confusing, so as long as we keep the number down I'm happy with whatever. Even 2 would be fine; there's no real reason to show Chicago other than it's dense. Thesavagenorwegian (talk) 17:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
