2024 Election Map

Project type

Web Application

Date

July 2024

Location

Roseville, CA

In this insane election season, I decided to make my own election map. It takes the most current data from FiveThirtyEight.com, sorts it, analyzes it, and produces an up-to-date map. In the sidebar, you can filter the dataset by timeline, pollster rating, candidate match-up, and more. It also offers the option to give the calculations different weights.

The map has two display options: National, and By State. The National map filters the data only for nation-wide polling results and then fills the entire map according to the winner. The By States map breaks the data down state by state and shows each state's winner, colored by their party and shaded according to the percentage of the vote. The hover text shows individual candidate and electoral college data.

This project was done while I was recovering from surgery, mostly out of boredom. I've been following this election closely, and frequently have to check a bunch of sites to get all the statistics I'm interested in. Or visit a custom map-maker and then get all the polls one state at a time. So I made this to visualize the election the way I wanted instead of always surfing around a bunch of political sites all the time.
