Data visualization for The Outback’s article on Pitzer’s student senate election

Data visualization of ranked choice voting. Paa maintains a plurality between all three rounds, and wins a majority in the third round. Elena was eliminated first, then Sara, leaving Isa and votes that were not transferred in the third round. 622 votes were cast in total.

This graphic also didn’t make it into the print version, but it’s up online! Made using R with some additional labeling done manually.

Visualizing ranked choice voting data was a fun challenge, and while I ended up having to do some work outside of R to get it looking exactly how we wanted, figuring out how to reshape the data so geom_alluvial() would plot it correctly was a fun puzzle.
