The Election Night Mapis where you'll see the current state of the U.S. Presidential election. This will be updated live on election night as the states are called by the major media outlets.

The Historical Mapspage lets you explore every election in U.S. history. You select the election year with the year slider, and the map, legend, and categories will be updated. An interesting thing to try is starting at the first election, 1788, and slowly scrolling through history to the most recent election, 2016. You can get an idea of how the country has changed politically by watching the states change color. You can pinch-zoom and pan around the map just as you can in other pages. [Read More]

The Community Projectionmap shows the average of the predictions that U.S. 270 users have posted.

There's nothing stopping you or anyone else from making unrealistic or ridiculous predictions. If you wish to add your predictions to the average, you'll need to be logged in. Your predictions are anonymous, but login is required to prevent people (or Russian bots) from voting more than once. [Read More]
