New York Times' Interactive Election Guide

INFO VISUALIZATION: If there's an organization that knows how to use Flash effectively, it's the New York Times. They've recently posted an interactive Election Guide using Flash, and I must say it's a wonderful tool with extensive information that's easy and interesting to explore.











I especially like the combination of the electoral college map with the geographical map. It's a system that's not easy to understand (*cough* *cough* and should be abolished) and this visualization does a goob job of showing how those votes are mapped to the states.

New york Times is the largest metropolitan newspaper in the United States. Nicknamed the "Gray Lady" for its staid appearance and style, it is often regarded as a national newspaper of record meaning that it is frequently relied upon as the official and authoritative reference for modern events.
