Barton, Susie, and Lon were the highest turnout names in 2024, while Hudson and Asher had the lowest turnout. #idpol

Once again asking people to keep in mind that a relative spike in google searches for a specific term does not necessarily mean a high level of absolute interest in that term
Search for "who is running for president" and "did Biden drop out" showing a big spikeNo visible spike in comparison to the search term "pizza"

Had an issue where {htmlwidgets} in my shiny app weren't displaying in an iframe embedded on a website. Turned out to be a permissioning issue that was solved by calling the resource directly from the CDN. #rstats

Since it's in Atlanta, I'll be here at my first posit::conf! I'll be speaking here with @gosterhout.bsky.social about election night reporting with #rstats and #QuartoPub (showing off {targets} and other neat tricks like this: www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2024/11... )

States spend too much on clunky election night reporting. We just replaced ours using #rstats. dbplyr backend + reactable & leaflet viz + #quartopub site. Real magic happened with programmatic code chunks & targets pipeline done by @andrew.heiss.phd. #dataviz results.voteidaho.gov

Just finished a neat side project consulting with the Idaho Secretary of State's office to help create an #rstats + #QuartoPub website for election results, and it just worked (flawlessly!) last night with their primary election results.voteidaho.gov
