Thread: How would YOU visualize poll tracker data? You have 50 US states and a race to 270 Electoral College votes. Here's a thread of several approaches from the media, with one pro/con for each. #ElectionViz (1/11) 
#YouGov goes for a traditional approach: stacked horizontal bar chart and standard US map.
Pro: Easy to find any particular state.
Con: Size is based on physical area, not number of electoral college votes

#Politico is similar but uses a tile map
Pro: each electoral college vote is the same size. States are sized according to EC. (British perspective: California gets loads of votes!)
Con: a bit harder to find a particular state. Unusual display.
