I guess the normie HDI did a thing to, I've seen them do it for other countries. I'd still hesitate to compare the data without knowing how things were measured.
The idea that Mississippi is on the level of Cyprus is extremely questionable imo (unless the Cyprus data is counting the north part of the island too).

It does count all of Cyprus as one state.

Aaaaaaah, you god drat moron, just run for senate instead of a doomed presidential campaign

Why bother losing another Senate run when you could be vp instead? Most of the people running for president don't think they are going to win, they want to raise their profile for a cabinet position.

Just out of curiosity has anyone done the math to what the 2016 Electoral Map would look like if we had twice as many (or whatever) members of the House / electoral votes, apportioned appropriately? I did a cursory search but only found a 538 post on what the Electoral Map looks like with some additional states.

I did the math quick, with 974 EV's Trump would have 550 and Hillary would have 424. This assumes no fuckery with Maine and Nebraska, DC goes from 3 to 4 EV's and no faithless electors.

Awesome, thanks for the explainer. Still amazes me to see how much change the Dems are accomplishing in Richmond.

Its almost as if Democrats get a bunch of stuff done when they have power.
