because there is not a perfect way to place the states as equal-sized entities in a US-shaped arrangement that doesn't require some tradeoffs

Unfortunately, you'd have to read to see, and that's just not happening.

Calling states "red" and "blue" based on presidential results not only ignores the partisanship of other statewide votes but also ignores how lousy those descriptors are at the presidential level.
