This is an interactive dashboard that allows you to view COVID-19 deaths in context of 2018's top 15 leading causes of death. The menu button in the top right will allow you to pick and choose which state you want to view, and if you want to view top 5 or top 15 death causes in 2018.

Following my "interesting primary tables" post, this will take a look at many the same stats. The 2020 general election was quite an interesting night, As oppose to the primary which saw only 1 election turned by mail-in this election saw a drastic impact. Also the Rhode Island Board of Elections added a new stat "Blank Ballots" which is a tad odd... and stands out in a few communities.

Updates to my web app to show live election results for Rhode Island with data provided by RI Board of Elections. After feedback from the 2020 Primary, for the general I've added some improvements too the custom page allowing for a better user experience allowing preview of candidates and saving checked values.

A quick map showing early votes and mail-in ballots by voting precinct. Data from Rhode Island Secretary of State as of 10/31/2020 using registered voter data from 2018. 2 quick tables highlighting the top & bottom 10 precincts, as well as the ability to hover over the map for more detail.

A quick horizontal bar graph showing the method early voters choose to use between early voting at a local city/town hall, or voting by mail. The white line down the middle shows the 50% mark to easily identify which method a majority of early voters used.

A quick map showing early votes and mail-in ballots cast data from Rhode Island Secretary of State as of 10/25/2020 as a percent of turnout using registered voter data from the 2018 general election from the Board of Elections.

As a map won't work for this years primary, or rather, would look weird as some of the cities/towns didn't have an election this years primary. I chose to use a scatter plot to visualize the change in voter turnout between the 2016 primary election and this years 2020 primary. A teal dot, represents a precinct that has seen an increased turnout from 2016 and a purple dot a decrease in turnout.

Previously, my use of election data was limited to viewing turnout and showing votes for each candidate showing which recieved more votes. This year I used Python & Pandas to find some interesting facts hidden within the primary election data. Things like, which endorsed candidate lost their election, or if mail-in votes effect the outcome from the ballot box on election day.
