New electoral vote calculator

[Chips]

I never see myself using the old calculator again. I still think this was a perfect change all around.

How would yalls recommend making the new EC votes available?

I was thinking of a "2020 (post-census)" option that shows the 2020 results with the new numbers. I could then phase that menu option out once the 2024 presidential election concludes.

Any thoughts?

YES!

YES! THANK YOU!

Suggestions for new colors in next update:

Black
Hot Pink
Teal
Light Green

Is the current calculator layout (long list with radio buttons - Dave's original layout) preferred or would a more interactive map a la 270towin be nicer?

The current page design is awfully "busy" and you have to scroll down to even see the map. I kept it this way originally because I wanted to minimize disruption of people's nostalgic preferences, but I'm wondering if people actually care or not about that.

Honestly I think a 270toWin style map would be great!

270towin style is more convenient if you don't have to worry about percentile shading. If you do it's a pain.

I propose having a 270 style map and a dropdown menu for shading.

Also, one thing that would be nice is if there was a YaPMS-like option to disable states at will to make it easier for senate maps.

I'm actually adding Senate/Gubernatorial maps as an option for the next update, so it'll handle all of that for you. Close to finishing that feature, as a matter of fact.

Thank you so much! I love you and all the work you do for this project!
