Comment on Show HN: How Many People Have Voted?

Comments

This looks really cool! Some feedback:

I don’t understand exactly what the colors are. Is it 2016 results, with darker shades being more extreme? Is it 2020 polls? Something else?

I would like an option to sort alphabetically so that I can quickly find particular states. For example, it was hard for me to find PA which is very important this election, because I overestimated its turnout and had to scan through most of the list (also, yikes!).

Thanks for the feedback, will add a FAQ or something to explain, but posting here too:

Red/Blue is an indication who won that state in 2016.

The shading (light -> dark) was mean't be an indicator of how much participation in the current election.

The lighter the color, the closer to 100% of the 2016 voting numbers has already been achieved.

Will add some sorting options!

That doesn't seem quite right. But in any case, how are numbers represented that already exceed 2016's?
