description Starting out from the Fall 2020 elections in the United States, this article unpacks a few stakes of the cartography of the presidential and House of Representatives election results. The maps of results at the state level as well as the county level, in particular for swing states, show a nuanced picture which stands witness to the great complexity of the electoral fabric. A brief historical overview of gerrymandering – or map manipulation on racial and partisan grounds – helps understand the results of the congressional elections. Cartography is thus not a tool, only, but a major ally in the preservation of representativeness.
