What’s New in DataMapper

Polls close at 7pm Eastern tonight in the double runoffs for both US Senate seats in Georgia. The balance of power in the U.S. Senate, and therefore the ability to pass any kind of legislation in the next two years, rests in whether or not Democrats John Ossoff and Raphael Warnock can win these two senate seats.
Once polls close, results will be tracked and mapped live here, as they come in. All results shown here will lag behind the Associated Press’s data feed by 30 seconds at the absolute most. That latency is mostly self-imposed; the requests for new data are slowed down slightly so that the AP does not interpret the server’s constant requests for new data as attempting a DDoS or other form of cyber attack.


In the mean time, there’s plenty of archival election data to browse here as well. Within the United States, you can browse the final results of over 6,000 discrete contests from the November general election, for everything from the Presidency to both houses of congress and almost every state legislative seat in the country. In New York City the results are available by Election District, which is to say, city block by city block.


And around the world, new additions to the archive include:
India’s 2019 parliamentary election, the largest democratic exercise in human history with over 613 million votes cast.
25 years of elections to the European Parliament, which governs the 2nd largest democratic electorate in the world, after India.
-The 2019, 2017, and 2015 UK Parliamentary elections, and

-The last 5 Canadian Parliamentary elections
