The county-by-county depiction of red vs. blue is well known to all of you. The founders went to great lengths to protect the rights of those in the minority. Therefore, we have the Senate, based on regional equality, and the House, based on concentrations of population. This to me is just one of the beauties of our republic. Those who focus solely on the power of large concentrations of population play dangerously with promoting the tyranny of the majority.
