Election visualization roundup

With the US pres­i­den­tial elec­tions com­ing up tomor­row (excit­ing!), here is a lit­tle roundup of related visu­al­iza­tions and infor­ma­tion graph­ics I enjoyed:


Palin sen­tence diagrams


Two projects from Pitch Inter­ac­tive

Job arcs

Dona­tions


Neo­formixhas a cou­ple of inter­est­ing visu­al­iza­tions, mostly relat­ing to speech analy­sis. I like this one best, as it really tells a com­pact story:

Stream graph: Obama’s one week speech


The NY Times info design depart­ment does not cease to amaze me:

The mea­sure of a president

Can a pres­i­dent tame the busi­ness cycle?

Nam­ing names


More lex­i­cal analy­sis and the wind­bag index from Mar­tin Krzy­win­ski:

Lex­i­cal Analy­sis of 2008 US Pres­i­den­tial and Vice-Presidential Debates — who’s the Windbag?


Every moment now


Great dis­cus­sion on proper plot­ting of the can­di­dates’ tax plans (via Nature where I picked up the great term “cou­ture visualization”)

The Visual Dis­play of Polit­i­cal Information


Another vivid dis­cus­sion on dis­play­ing swing state dynam­ics at eager eyes:

Swing states


And now, my dear Amer­i­can read­ers – get out and vote! May the youngest and best-looking win :)
