Bad #ElectionTwitter pickup line: "Hey there, want to slide into my...DeMographic Swingometer?"
The wait is over. Introducing @CookPolitical's newest, most addictive tool: cookpolitical.com/swingometer
Have you ever wondered what the 2020 map might look like if:
- Biden restores Black turnout to Obama-era levels?
- Trump does better w/ Hispanics than last time?
- College-educated whites swing to Biden?
Now you can choose your own adventure! at either @NBCNews/@CookPolitical.
Like the @NBCNews interactive, the @CookPolitical tool allows you to build & share your own maps. It also has some extras for election *super-nerds:*
1) Real-time raw popular vote tally
2) Real-time red/blue state shading
3) Dynamic table w/ state-level demographic breakdowns
This project wouldn't have come to life had I not been approached over the summer by Stanford student and data-viz/cs/math savant Sophie Andrews, @sandrews121.
(Strange coincidence: I attended her parents' wedding in NJ when I was 14. Now I'm 36 and I'm feeling really old!)
It also wouldn't have come together so well without graphic/web design by Harvard econ/applied math student Leo Saenger, @saengerleo and @CookPolitical's secret weapon, web editor Ally Flinn @alflinn. Thanks all. 👏👏👏
