270toWin: New Features for 2010
As the mid-term elections approach, we’ve added some new features to 270toWin.
To be notified of future enhancements, follow us on Twitter.
- The Presidential Map has been updated to include a projected Electoral College distribution for 2012. The electoral votes for many states will change based on the outcome of the 2010 Census --- the new map should be finalized in early 2011. Our projected map is based on Census Bureau estimates from July, 2009. Users of the map can use either the 2008 electoral distribution or the 2012 projection to plot out the next election.
- State Histories have been updated to reflect results of the 2008 election.
- Electoral College Quiz has been updated to reflect the results of the 2008 election. This election resulted in changes to the correct answers for several of the quiz questions.
- A House of Representatives Interactive Map has been added. Track all 435 House races based on competitiveness and project your own outcome for the 112th Congress. The map lets you zoom in on various parts of the country and includes information on each current Member. Use the FIND feature to quickly locate all Members that meet your specified criteria.
About 270toWin.com
270toWin combines an interactive Electoral College map for the then-current presidential election cycle with historical maps and information for all prior elections. It educates its audience on the Electoral College system, and the integral role it plays in electing the President. The breadth of content on the site, and its engaging content, has led to significant recognition. The site is linked to from the National Archives website and a touch-screen version of the 270toWin interactive map was a component of the Vote4Me exhibit at the McCormick Freedom Museum in Chicago during 2008.
