Really you don't need to read more than one chart:

If you vote for anyone other than Harris, you're voting for Trump:

I wouldn't take this graphic too seriously...

They must have let people from each state make their own graph.

0.5% rounded up to the nearest whole number

That's how math works

No, it is really not.

What is 0.5 rounded up to the nearest whole number then?

What does it have to do with 48% presented as more than 50?

One exception proves the rule. :) But Florida is gonna Florida. There's no question who they're voting for.

It everyone else we need to worry about.

No, it doesn't. Also my point is not "how Florida voted"

It is that the blue part of the right graph is clearly bigger than half, yet the text description says 48%.

So the whole graph set is not really worth drawing any conclusion from, because you can't trust the data.

Wait, aren't ALL of those colors inadvertently transposed? The reds and blues are wrong.
