The elections post

Two years until the D-Day. Let's see how the infographics departments on the different newspapers did.
I start with Spain, as it's where I write this blog, and the pages are more accessible for me.

EL PAÍS
The biggest spanish newspaper offered this double spread graphic (at half height). Adding to this, they had a 1-column graphic with the progressive closings.


EL MUNDO
It ha dtwo graphics: the proportional map with a big table and othe with several statistichal data.



ABC
The general one.


And along with it, thet text about the swing states had a shape and the results of each.


On the next page, Congress and Senate.


LA RAZÓN
Map, participation and who won the elections last times on the states that this year are democrats.


EL PERIÓDICO
Proportional map.


And result of Congress and Senate.


LA VANGUARDIA
Frontpage La Vanguardia. I just can give a big applause for the idea, and express my dellusion for the non-proportional data and forgetting the 'others' on charts.


PÚBLICO
Our idea was to give the reader all the data he would need to make his own analysis. So we tried with this double spread.




And now, abroad...

DAILY TELEGRAPH (UK)
Sorry for the scanning quality, there were some problems with the size of the page and the size of my scanner, and also with the problem that the spanish edition of the Telegraph ios printe on B&W...



CHICAGO TRIBUNE(USA)
The sold 1,1 million copies of the newspaper the day after the O-day. Tribune's infographics director, Steve Cavendish, send this pair of examples on what they did from the infographics department.

Results of Congress and Senate.


Adn Obama's advantages.


THE NEW YORK TIMES (USA)
Beyond the magnificient online coverage, they had this jewels on the print edition, asyopu can see on Xocas.com






And thanks to Juan Antonio Giner I could find this web with a huge recopilation of electoral maps.

And as usual: I've you got more examples, please be nice and send them!!!
