US Presidential Vote
by county (2004-2020)
A low code election map built with the Mapbox storytelling template and sheet mapper plugin.
Scroll down for a tour.
The map visualizes the popular vote for each US county as a traditional choropleth and as a dot map
Choropleth shading of each area gives visual importance to larger areas, making smaller but more important areas hard to see
Dot maps can be used in such cases to provide a more full picture of the data
Another technique is to use 3D extrusions to show data that would otherwise be hidden
