primary results: d.c., maryland and virginia

For Tuesday’s “Potomac Primary” — presidential primary contests in D.C., Maryland and Virginia — I set up another set of interactive results maps (county/city-level for Maryland and Virginia, ward-level for D.C.):

Also worth checking out:

• I’ve also beefed up the overall primary results map we rolled out last week for Super Tuesday. In addition to displaying the results of all previous (and current/ongoing) primary contests, the map shows the delegate allocations (both overall and at the state level).
• Last week we debuted an interactive timeline of primaries and delegate wins. Cristina Rivero at the Post designed / built the graphic, and I offered an assist with some of the programming.

Speaking of election maps, DCist has a nice Google Map mashup of D.C. election results at the precinct-level. Also, I’ve really enjoyed reading these two blogs about election mapping (and not just because they’ve mentioned maps on washingtonpost.com):

• The Electoral Map
• PoliticalMaps.org

Thankfully, I think we’ve reached the end of the “super-compressed” portion of the primary calendar. Three states (Wisconsin, Hawaii and Washington state) hold primaries on Tuesday, and then we have a bit of a breather until March 4 (Ohio, Rhode Island, Texas and Vermont).
