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 :)
