Tomorrow is election day. To celebrate, I want to highlight the University of Richmond (“Go Spiders!”:http:\/\/richmondspiders.cstv.com\/)<\/a> and their “Digital Scholarship Lab”:http:\/\/digitalscholarship.richmond.edu\/<\/a> who have a very cool online exhibition of electoral statistical maps on “their website”:http:\/\/americanpast.richmond.edu\/voting\/index.html.<\/a> (warning: auto-playing video)

\nPersonally, I love seeing data presented in new ways. As a history major and a bit of a cartographic nerd, these time-lapse maps represent the ultimate in teaching tools. Things I’ve learned by putzing around this site:
\n* “The populist party had a surprisingly heterogeneous geographic appeal.”:http:\/\/americanpast.richmond.edu\/voting\/thirdparty.html<\/a>
\n* “African-American populations haven’t really left the south — and there’s still a lot of empty space out there.”:http:\/\/americanpast.richmond.edu\/voting\/aawpopulation.html<\/a>
\n* “Looking at the 2000 election results by county makes me wonder how it could’ve been so close.”:http:\/\/americanpast.richmond.edu\/voting\/aawpopulation.html<\/a>
