Virginia's gubernatorial election sees over five million registered voters casting their ballots at nearly 2,500 polling stations in what is described as a tightly contested and pivotal race in the swing state. The New York Times has developed a dynamic and visually engaging election map that provides real-time updates and analysis of the voting results by precinct, highlighting factors like estimated votes remaining, lead margins, and electoral shifts. Utilizing Studio to create a clear and non-intrusive basemap, the graphics team employs GL JS expressions to illustrate shifts in voter sentiment since the 2016 presidential election through features like an electoral “wind map” and responsive symbols that adapt to different viewing parameters, ensuring a comprehensive view of the data across all devices.
