Cartonerd : The NYT election map

Je venais de la poster, j’avais pas vu que @fil avait tiré le premier. J’efface et je continue ici.

A spread of four pages, ça me rappelle de mauvais souvenirs haha ! :) Mais là en revanche, c’est bien !

Having tested these options and debated at length, we arrived at a compromise map for our live results graphic that attempts to take the best from the other methods.

The white underlying geographic map places states in their familiar size, shape and location, allowing them to be identified quickly. Using a cluster of dots rather than a solid fill to represent the outcome ensures that the amount of red and blue on the map accurately reflects states’ weight in the election outcome, rather than the (irrelevant) surface area. 

Like the tiled grid cartogram, the number of electoral votes in each state is easy to compare visually without counting or interpreting numbers printed on the map.

(j’aime beaucoup cette solution)
