Like many of you, the Election on Tuesday is front of mind, and will be for a few days after :-/
I was thinking about the number of people that actually vote, and with more states allowing early voting, I wondered how it would affect participation in the election (given the current pandemic).
I was able to find the raw data on http://www.electproject.org/ but wasn't happy with how it was being displayed, so I created my own visualization.
very cool! this i imagine would be reasonably difficult but it would be interesting to see what the delta of registered voters or population. If a state has grown by 200000 hitting their 2016 number maybe is less significant.
I don’t understand exactly what the colors are. Is it 2016 results, with darker shades being more extreme? Is it 2020 polls? Something else?
I would like an option to sort alphabetically so that I can quickly find particular states. For example, it was hard for me to find PA which is very important this election, because I overestimated its turnout and had to scan through most of the list (also, yikes!).
