Now Available: State-by-State Twitter Vote Report Maps (and More Data Feeds)
Driving the Twitter Vote Report all along has been the idea that real-time information on how elections are proceeding is all the more valuable when it’s local. That’s why it’s particularly exciting that we now have state-level Google maps to offer up. As is everything in TVR land, these maps are still beta. But what’s great about these embeds is that you can add them to your site now, and it will automatically be updated with improvements as they come out.
To embed the Twitter Vote Report map for your state as an iframe, paste this code into your site:
<iframe src="http://votereport.us/reports/map?state=OH" frameborder="0" class="stream" width="535" height="500" scrolling="yes" ></iframe>
That will reproduce the map for Ohio displayed below. To display a map of your state, just replace "OH" with your two-character state abbreviation in the above code.
If you have the chops to build your own visualizations, more power to you. We’ve got the JSON data stream powering the map, as well as some variations on that feed (including a GoogleEarth KML layer), over on the See It in Action Page.
