This picture helps the author make the argument that the in different states voters have more impact on the outcome of the presidential election. The picture draws in the viewer because it is an abstracted cut up picture of the U.S. Once the viewer is drawn in the picture is affective because the viewer quickly learns that each state is proportioned by the amount of sway a voter has in that state. Then the text continues the argument. This picture is effective both because it catches the eye and it helps to convey the severity of the issue.

Quite the striking picture, I'd say.
Of course, it does also bring to mind the unpleasant realization that the biggest effect I could have on a presidential election would be to move to Wyoming.
