American Elections

A Wordpress theme originally intended for displaying changes to voting laws by state since 2008.

How it works

  • Categories were created for each state.
  • Students created one post per state with appropriate categorization.
  • When visitors click on a state or state name, a modal is triggered revealing the post.
  • Visitors can also use the options to reveal color coded maps

Future Improvements worth considering

This theme was initially written many years ago on a tight timeline. It is very likely there are better ways to handle this type of project. Among other things, the following improvements should be considered if implementing today:

  • Use SVG instead of PNGs for the base maps
  • Swap out map for mapping library if project goals become more complex
  • HTML5 Shiv is probably no longer necessary
