No beef with AK or HI
November 12th, 2008, by Andrew
People sometimes ask why I don’t include Alaska and Hawaii on my maps. I could, I guess; it would just make things look a little messier. And since Alaska and Hawaii aren’t swing states (and they’re not even included in many national opinion polls), I don’t bother with them. I don’t include D.C. either. I do include AK and HI in scatterplots, though (when I have data for them).
