Like many of you, the Election on Tuesday is front of mind, and will be for a few days after :-/
I was thinking about the number of people that actually vote, and with more states allowing early voting, I wondered how it would affect participation in the election (given the current pandemic).
I was able to find the raw data on http://www.electproject.org/ but wasn't happy with how it was being displayed, so I created my own visualization.
very cool! this i imagine would be reasonably difficult but it would be interesting to see what the delta of registered voters or population. If a state has grown by 200000 hitting their 2016 number maybe is less significant.

electproject migrated to github and I find more useful their infographics tho:

Was talking with a friend about this earlier today.
We figured we could access census data for the states/counties and see how the population has shifted, between elections.
Definitely doable, would just need some time to collect the data.
