USA TODAY launches mobile-first election interactive

USA TODAY has always been known for its brilliant use of infographics, charts, and interactives to tell stories and deliver the news. As a pioneer in that space, it is no surprise that the politics and graphics teams collaborated on the Race to the White House in the new USA TODAY electoral vote interactive.

The interactive allows users to plot a path to victory for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. It gives different scenarios and the amount of electoral votes that would match each scenario. Scenarios include:

·         You decide

·         Bernie Bros help Hillary

·         Trump gets the swings

·         Trump is right

·         Hispanics huge for Hillary

·         Rust Belt rolls for Trump

·         Everything is a tossup

·         Trump coalition holds

The USA TODAY’s electoral vote interactive is a mobile-first interactive designed to work on any platform. Users will be able to share the interactive or their unique results with friends!

“This is the just the latest in a series of election visualizations that the USA TODAY NETWORK has provided to help understand the election. We have more to come, so stay tuned,” said Lee Horwich, USA TODAY’s Managing Editor for Government and Politics.
