I love infographics, and election time is a bonanza.
So much power is what you choose to highlight in the image.
BoingBoing has a
post about an alternative view of the election returns,
emphasizing the closeness of the election. The design and image are by
Jeff
Culver.
Today's print New York Times has a fantastic set of infographics on
the back page of the election section. I can't find them online, but
if you have an NYT nearby take a look. I particularly like the image
in the lower right of the page that gives a view of votes by
population density. This image is now online in a
scanned form
and an official online
presentation ("by population").
See also this county by
county map of the election results, again with the purple
colouring that emphasizes how close the vote is.
