Election 2008

Super Tuesday's big winners: graphic designers

Congratulations, hyperactive graphic designers: you did it. You took a deluge of elaborate elections data and conveniently reduced it into a series of charts that are somehow actually far more confusing than the original information, but with the added benefit of triggering seizures.

The New York Times, USA Today, and CNN (the most trusted name in unnecessary visual aids,) all unveiled enough detailed, clickable graphs and charts to keep analysts busy for days. Yet none of them quite encompasses all the information we need to make sense of the nationwide primary results. So we've created our own image that reduces all the news into one simple, comprehensive graphic. You're welcome.
