These are two political maps of the United States of America. The top map colors in the entire country including the portions where NO ONE lives. It gives the impression that most of the country is red or Republican. The lower political map only colors in the portions where many people live while leaving uninhabited areas white.

When you’re not coloring all the places where NO ONE lives the color red, and instead ONLY color the places where lots of people live, suddenly the political map looks rather different.
