The population is vastly unbalanced, and thus by default most percentage charts are going to be unbalanced too.
That is not how % work, the dark areas indicate places where half the people are on the program, so if there is a dark dot in new york than half of the population is on EITC, which does represent 10 million or so people so more that some entire dark states.
The reason why Georgia is so dark is not because it has a lot of people but because half the people there need the EITC.
I can't find a way of saying it that doesn't come out with some sort of flaw, so I guess I just concede the argument since I can see the holes myself.
