Small precincts with so few votes that reporting them would identify specific voters. Apparently California reports them specially outside their precincts.

These presidential results replace the NYT data.

We added 2024 election data for CA. Thanks to Josh Metcalf and the team at @votehub.com !!!!
Note: privacy precincts were not included, so statewide undercounts Pres by about 15,000 votes total.

Additional contiguity has been added to accommodate islands isolated by the water restriction and islands isolated by the official geography (AK, CA, FL, HI, KY, NY and RI).

We added a new feature: Restrict Water, which restricts your map by removing most coastal water. It's enabled only for NH, MA, CT, NJ and DE, but more states will be added soon.
Access the feature in Map Settings/Restrict To. You can compare such a map to other statewide maps of the same plan type.

Apologies for the rough rollout of our map surface rendering changes. We fixed a number of issues, but if you still have problems email us at [email protected] and especially let us know the platform you use. Thanks!

We added new color schemes as palette choices, from colorbrewer2.org.
And we added a new tool (Tools Menu) to automatically change a map's district colors such that no similar colors are touching, using a minimum of colors.

Yesterday, we also updated the map to use a new drawing layer for shapes & lines.

On higher screen resolutions it looks better; & it will reduce browser resource usage & improve map loading & editing latency.

But on screens with lower resolution the look is worse 😬, so we backed it out for now.

We have added 2024 election data for Washington State!!! The first 2024 data! 🎉🥳

Our home state is simply the best at publishing quality results and geography quickly! We really appreciate it and wish all states did the same! 😀

We've been busy over the last month. We added
- My Layers to manage custom layers, which you can publish for others
- Import custom demographic datasets, which can be set as default Census/Voting Age
- Custom formatting for builtin datasets
- Elec data: KS 2022 (thx Brian Amos & RDH) & CA 2022
