Visualizing Data Process

[vimeo http://www.vimeo.com/29922019 w=400&h=255]The video above is a screenshot of the process I went through when endeavoring to visualize voter turnout rates from state to state.  There is more data to visualize and compare.  I am not sure I will use these exact maps, but it is the work process that allowed me to move from wanting data, finding it, making is usable and then visualizing.  Many Eyes is a really lovely, free tool that makes my job and learning easier.  Win.
