Yes, it's the amount of electoral vote per state, and Maine and Nebraska assign some votes by district if you're wondering what that Ne2 Me1 stuff's about, this info should be included really. Ideally graphs shouldn't have to contain too much extra text but even worse is not having the info at all, especially in the Napoleon one.
Another alternative is a map like this https://www.ocregister.com/2016/11/07/focus-why-the-electoral-college-matters-to-every-state/ where you see each vote but they're all over the place. I think I've seen one that combines the simple design and being able to see the exact order of state's leanings like the snake, while clearly showing the amount of votes with squares like the map, couldn't find it though.
That Napoleon one was really weird and more overwhelming. I think it shows the path they took towards Moscow and then the way back, while also showing how many troops are left. Yeah, i'd be starting with the left-most red part and follow the black line back right-left, since that would be the chronological order. it only seems to show the temperature on their way back, wonder why. Guess zigzag is just an approximation?
I think it's that I read a lot of weirdly presented data on r/dataisbeautiful and Im familiar with the electoral college even though I'm not american either.
