The text discusses the development and enhancement of interactive election maps at the Washington Post, led by Armand Emamdjomeh, utilizing Mapbox's vector mapping service to create dynamic and responsive visualizations. The process involved updating the election map app originally built in 2016, incorporating the new Feature State API to allow real-time data updates and improved user interaction across both desktop and mobile platforms. By implementing Mapbox expressions, the team was able to dynamically style maps to reflect election results, while the use of a "dirty reprojection" technique allowed for the representation of the U.S. in an Albers USA projection. The article also explores the benefits of using cartograms in election coverage to provide a more accurate representation of population density and political outcomes. Custom labels and re-projections were employed to address the challenges of displaying state and city names on the maps.
