Tech tools to visualize U.S. elections

Posted by Jacque on October 9th, 2008

When an image is worth a thousand words — these apps help you understand what is happening during our election season, found on Read/WriteWeb.

Now you can visualize:

Political contributions by industry — an interactive visualization from Sunlight Foundation
Earmarks — which states slip the most pet projects into spending bills (I recommend you have latest javascript)
The 2008 Presidential Election In The Blogosphere — perspctv’s graphs include CNN polls, news mentions, blogosphere mentions, Twitter mentions, a U.S. electoral map, and Google Trends-based timelines
Electoral College Prediction Tracker — an interactive, embeddable visualization widget you can use to view predictions from different organizations
