Note: This site is currently "Under construction". I'm migrating to a new version of my site building software. Lots of things are in a state of disrepair as a result (for example, footnote links aren't working). It's all part of the process of building in public. Most things should still be readable though.

Buliding A Fast Turn-Around Election Tracker - Stream Notes for November 6 2020 LiveCoding

### Notes

Seeing if I can build my own election tracker before the election is over.

Made it (with like, a day to spare).

Used an existing feed and spent most of the time on formatting.

The real thing I was after was seeing how many estimated votes were necessary (and the percentage) for a candidate to win a state. It was a fun exercise.
