Unfortunately I am not the original creator of this map, however election results and demographics are provided by every state’s Secretary of State and/or elections office, and is accessible via each state’s respective website. For example, this is the website for Ohio.

Yeah, I understand that, and I’ve made the conscious decision to remove the commentary as I’ve realized my error. I am interested in how this pattern may hold up in prior elections. I’ll have to do some more looking.

Yes. State recorders typically divide votes by demographics in raw data, so this data consists of the ratio of red:blue votes for both of those categories of voting.

Good point! I’ll see if the author has the same map for any previous elections.

Edit: So it seems like the maps were made as a part of a series by u/DustinGibson a while back. As far as I know, he has not posted any other elections.

I currently have a Korg MicroKey Air, the 37 key variant. Some people don’t like it, but I’d recommend it as it has a pretty good build quality and feel for the price, and the Bluetooth is particularly good for convenience, along with its weight.

As others have said, keyboards like these unfortunately do not usually have audio come with them as controllers are almost exclusively meant for use with software. They aren’t usually used widely for playing as producing, so playing a midi controller will be naturally different than regular piano. That also being said with the lack of audio.

If this lack of audio is a problem, then honestly the lowest price sound-controller I would recommend would probably be the Yamaha Reface, which would run you double your budget. I do have pretty high standards when it comes to electric piano sounds, but I urge to say that keyboards under this price tend to sound… off.

Also, if you find a good model over your price, do not be afraid of used keyboards! As long as you have a good way of returning it and you clean it thoroughly prior to use, it is simply a good money saver.

So, TL;DR, if you are looking for one recommended model in the price range, I would maybe look into a Korg MicroKey Air. Hope you do well!

Accidental renaissance

Music’s had the same(ish) notation system since the 1600s at least, and yet throughout most varied genres (in WESTERN music) up to this day, it still has done its job pretty well.
