Of course, it is also time for Dataviz to follow the results of each State in real time. In the United States, the best dataviz are on the NYT (complete) , the NPR (simple) and the Washington Post . In Europe, those of the Guardian , Le Monde and The Economist stand out with always 3 reading grids available: the States, the Grand Electors and the forecasts. A mention for the dataviz of the Washington Post which shows the representatives of the chamber who changed sides via arrows.
The original tracker
While most media outlets focus their dataviz efforts on predictions and results by state, some take a step back, such as the LA Times, with data on the representation of women in the results , France Info with numerous data visualizations on Generation Z, these young Americans who are voting for the first time , and the New York Times, which offers a treatment of the treatment of elections by the American media (CBS, NBC, Fox, CNN, ABC, AP, Reuters, NYT) entitled "Which Media Confirmed Which State?": a nice mise en abyme.
With the results being delayed this year, the predictions physician database are the subject of numerous simulations. The famous "needles" of the New York Times allow to predict the results by State but the American newspaper also proposes a path of probabilities towards victory for each candidate with all the possible scenarios.
And The Economist's more sober format presents each candidate's chances of election.
The “disinformation” alert format
Online media are using the warning banner so dear to television to raise awareness among web readers about disinformation . The Guardian's front page is the most impressive with an imposing red banner, but also those of the Washington Post and Buzzfeed which remind us that neither candidate has yet won the election.
