Election graphics highlights (and lowlights)
(To be updated as they turn up)
(Nominated by James Green in comments: 538’s ‘winding path’)
Recommendations for sites to watch
- The Upshot (New York Times) for serious
- Trumpocalypse Rating (The Spinoff, NZ) for, well, less serious
- Hand-painted electoral results map. (NPR on Facebook).
First, ABC News exit poll doesn’t seem to understand bar charts

I know this thread is sort of over, but I’d like to nominate 538’s winding path as a graphic for good. By about 3pm NZDT, it was pretty clear that Clinton was doing poorly in a Florida, North Carolina, but also in a bunch that were supposed to be firmly on her side (Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan), and provided one of the earliest indications that she was in serious trouble.
