How Many People Have Voted?

🎉🎉🎉 Hello Product Hunters I like to build projects that answer questions that are on my mind. From projects like "Will Robots Take My Job?" (sold), and "How Much is a Bitcoin Worth?" to "Will My Job Give Me Covid?". Like many people I'm thinking a lot about the US election, due to finish on November 3rd. So I decided to build a project to answer that question. You can find out more about how I built it at: https://practicalmvp.com/blog/ho... The data is sourced from: http://www.electproject.org/

I love the data visualization here. Really interesting to see the comparison between the last election and this year’s as it is broken down by state.

Congratulations on launching this. Nice one.

I'm super excited to be working with @mubashariqbal on this project! Voting is such an important part of our civic responsibility, and as a history major, I've spent long hours studying how increased engagement can help to retain and progress our democracy and sense of collective improvement. 🗳️ Our goal in the coming days (because I think we all know that this year's election isn't the end, it's the beginning) is to help make sense of a lot of the data that is coming to the surface. We're excited to try and contextualize it and possibly even take a look at some of the interesting data points that are not being discussed much at the moment. My hope is that we'll be able to make this data digestible and interesting for the many people for whom politics is a civil responsibility, but perhaps not a preferred topic of intrigue. 🙂 We all do better when we help each other understand and progress! 😃🚀
