Make sense of electoral votes with the 2008 Swing State Map
October 7, 2008
Need help teaching the electoral system? For a visual aid, check out Politico’s 2008 Swing State Map. You can see at a glance which candidate has the lead in each state, and how much of a lead he has. The Swing State Map has up-to-date polling results for all 50 states, and shows how each state’s electoral votes would get divvied up if the election happened today. It also provides information on voting history and candidates’ strategies in several key swing states. It’s a great companion to the data you looked up at Gallup, too. This is one map you should keep checking throughout the election season. -BILL FERRIS
