challenge round

Via Maps Mania and just in time for the pivotal US midterm elections, Randall Munroe has collaborated with Kelsey Harris and Max Goodman to create an interactive xkcd-style map (previously) to chart all the contested races from congressional representative and governor down to county-clerk and dog-catcher. Names and party affiliation are indicated, linking to the website of the candidate and campaign, and the relative size represents the stakes of the outcome and how likely it is that the incumbent might be unseated.
