Here is an interesting online activity that may serve as a diversion tomorrow evening as you wait for election results to trickle in.
A couple of years ago, Matthew Kane created a mashup that returns data on Republican and Democratic contributors that can be linked to zip codes. Enter your zip code and compare the number of contributors and the amounts contributed (note these data will be dated). Note that the addresses (Google map) of the contributors are also identified. I must admit I find the map locating contributors a little scary, but it does partially explain who gets what phone calls and visits.
Cindy forwarded this URL to me – I see David Warlick also reviews this site.
