Zen Heathen on Nostr: I think we need a new rule against publishing vote intention or vote result maps ...
I think we need a new rule against publishing vote intention or vote result maps above a certain scale. If you show the entire country in one image and place colours to represent political parties, you can't see the cities. In many cases, one city has as much population as much of the rest of its province. Big party colour blocks for rural or largely-empty areas and invisible tens of millions in urban areas is by its very nature a complete misrepresentation.
