Encke's February 2019 Elections Tracker

How come Ohio is green for RC even though it's a tie and Peanut has the most votes total?

Fixed

1) The map shows 5 votes for IND in the House election. I imagine it's for Pericles or maybe matthew. I have 4 votes for House. Is it a choice to count only candidates on the ballot ?

2) For Lincoln, are you counting the two ballots posted by the same person or is it legal to delete one ballot before the close of the election.

1. The 5 Independent votes are Pericles. Yeah, I'm not listing write-ins explicitly in the vote totals at the top of the map, but they are included in the sense that they are being counted in the spreadsheet, factored into the percentages, and displayed on the map itself (as the grey circles with the green outlines). As for Matthew, I was unsure about where to count his votes so I've been displaying him on the map in light orange, but haven't put him into the top-of-the-map display bars. I'll probably put him in independent at some point.

2. Both are invalid, since posting twice in the booth is not allowed. This is reflected in the count.

The site I use to upload images is down right now, please check the spreadsheet for the latest updates and disregard the maps while I search for an alternative.

Edit: It's back now

[Fmr. Representative Encke]

Gonna refrain from updating maps in the final two hours because lots of votes are coming in very quickly. Use the spreadsheet for latest info.

The final maps are complete!

For fun, here's the swing map from October to February. 30% = 1 vote swing, 40% = 2 votes, etc.

Largest swing was L+5 in TX. F+4 states were MA and MO, while FL was an L+4 state.

Some fun facts:

-Washington had previously voted for the losing candidate in the first round of every post-reset election (even the Yankee/Blair tie, when it voted for Xahar). This election breaks that streak.

-Louisiana and West Virginia have voted for the first-round winner of every post-rest presidential election. Delaware loses this status this election (with Homestar's write-in).

-Massachusetts voted for the non-leftist candidate for the first time ever post-reset (it voted for the Labor/PUP candidate in every election prior).

-Arkansas voted for the leftist candidate for the first time ever post-reset.

Beautiful! Thank you for always making these maps.
