       Like here's some fantastic shit: how geology from 100M years ago influences modern US voting patterns today https://www.reddit.com/r/MapPorn/comments/blwlig/the_cretaceous_period_145_to_66_million_years_ago/https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/337186bd22f8404ea60cec7753dde9d6In short:* 100M years ago (Cretaceous period, dinosaur times) there's a coastline running through part of what is now the southern US* That coastline leaves behind some particularly fertile soil* When Europeans occupy North America, they want free labor to grow crops on that fertile soil* Enslaved Africans are brought to North America for this purpose* After emancipation, many of those formerly enslaved people and their descendants still live on that land* Due to details of US politics, those folks tend to vote in a certain way

       @ricci and instead of mail everybody a ballot, they make people stand in line for hours to be able to vote. 😞
