I prefer the BBC’s reporting on UK general elections, they put Jeremy Vine in a room with loads of cgi graphics and a constantly zooming map of the UK, it’s like being privy to a political scientists acid trip.
My only issue with this is that 5% of precincts don't represent 5% of the total votes. A precinct with 1,000 people in it shouldn't be weighted the same as one with 50,000.
This is a great idea, but I'd improve it slightly by re-aligning each pie slice so that they're mirrored on the Y-axis. This should make the graph much easier to compare and will clearly show which of the candidates surpassed 50% first.
