It matters how?

You think voters will increase support for Africa (whatever that means) if their perceived size of the continent is increased?

Look at Trump and his first term Electoral College map. He was sincerely butthurt about winning an overwhelming majority of the USA by square foot, and losing the popular vote.

You're not going to get a rational answer to the question.

I agree that's the level of rational thought that has gone into this argument.
