Excellent post! Question about the turnout graphic with the vertical bars: For 2016 and 2020, the blue presidential bars are sandwiched right up against the green Supreme Court bars. Should they be spaced out?
Thank you! If the elections were in the same year, I grouped them right together like that to keep them above the year in question on the x-axis. I played around with the formatting in Datawrapper for a bit to do it by exact election date, but I thought it might look a little confusing to people because of spacing.

Ah got it. Makes sense!
Quality over quantity, and there's plenty of the former here. FiveThirtyEight alumni are doing some of the most indispensable work on this platform.
