This map was created by Erik Nitsche for the magazine. Fortune and published in 1939. The illustration, with a significant propaganda message, is entitled Geography for the GOP (Great Old Party, referring to the Republican Party).
The map is published in the context of the presidential elections. As propaganda criticising the electoral process and, more specifically, the Republican Party, the map appears distorted to give greater prominence to the states with the highest number of electoral votes (something also referred to in the text accompanying the illustration).
In addition, the author includes the main governors and influential political figures of the Republican Party ahead of the 1940 elections, caricaturing each of them. Some examples are former President Herbert Hoover in California (on the railway tracks), Thomas E. Dewey in New York (dressed as a crusader) and former Governor Robert A. Taft in Ohio (sitting on his father's lap).
Interestingly, the map does not yet show Wendell Willkie, who would ultimately be chosen by the Republican Party to run in the 1940 election, in which he lost to Franklin D. Roosevelt, who won his third consecutive term.
