Note they have my state TN as all red. Did they count the entire state population as voting GOP, or did they only count the 70% that voted GOP?

The map doesn't even note all the Democrats in East TN that voted against the GOP. They only have one little pinkish red area not even close to where the majority of liberals are in east TN. They have carefully gerrymandered my district so that it doesn't combine with the liberals out of Knoxville and give us a Democratic district.

They've got my state wrong.

What exactly did they count?

I think this might merely be voters represented by GOP house members and those represented by Dem house members. Not actual people voting as Dems or Repukes, because they totally missed a bunch of Dem voters in East TN.
