For now, anyway. The more space the numbers take up, the more the text placement coordinates have to be adjusted, and right now it's just statically placed with some very rudimentary repositioning for bigger/smaller numbers. If I wanted it to support 100+ while still looking good, I'd need to come up with something better.

On top of that, I don't know what to do about the small states that have result boxes or NH/VT, where long numbers would simply not fit. I opted to restrict it rather than delay release even more.

Thanks for the clarification. I was mainly curious since IIRC I was actually the one that suggested the ability to edit the electoral numbers when you asked what we wanted last year. This system is far better and more accommodating for my project than the previous one. For projects and maps where I need states to do triple digits, I can always just use the older map version, as long as the link never permanetly goes down, so no issue.

All in all, thank you for the hard work and effort, and thank you very much for making green no longer the only third party color, as that can make multi party races in history much easier to make and work with without making it confusing

I really don't like this updated design at all. It just doesn't work with the Atlas colors. I feel like the modteam or whomever is making these changes should poll the userbase before making "improvements." The same thing happened when the name and board icons of the site were changed, and when the recommend button was added.

Well I have nothing against the recommend button
