2020 Democrat POTUS Delegate Map Tracker

Description

Tools to build a 2020 (D) delegate cartogram

CREDIT

The hard work was done by WSJ’s Brian McGill ([@brian_mcgill](https://twitter.com/brian_mcgill/)) who manually crafted the base cartogram over days then translated that into the beautiful and illuminating creation that is the WSJ online delegate tracker: https://www.wsj.com/graphics/elections/2020/track-the-delegate-count/.

What’s Inside The Tin

The following functions are implemented:

  • delegates_map: Retrieves the delegates basemap
  • delegates_pal: WSJ palette for the candidates likely getting delegates
  • expand_candidates: Expand the state totals per delegate into an indexed data frame
  • gg_catchpole: Plot a U.S. Democratic Delegates Cartogram (2020)
  • read_delegates: Retrieves current U.S. State delegate assignments for 2020 from the WSJ
