Yeah, you need to paste the data into Excel, then "text to column" it, using spaces as the delineator. Problem is, that breaks up riding names, so you have to go and fix all of those up. Still marginally faster than straight data entry. If you need a hand (ie, someone to contribute man hours, let me know and I'll see what I can squeeze in...).

By this, I assume you *don't* mean Poll #7?

Toronto Centre: NDP collapsed in places like Regent Park. Looks like they upped their game north of Bloor, as they finished ahead of the Tories in a lot of polls.

Probably more to do with Tories staying home.

You and Earl publish a couple of my favourite websites, and I thoroughly enjoy going through your results.

When I read your post, I was on my phone and therefore couldn't immediately open the maps to see your changes. I was ambivalent towards the idea of dots. In some respects, I prefer the old method, however the dots are clear and allow shading of the actual overall riding winner as a background colour, as you have done. Overall, I think this makes the dots a positive and I consider it slightly preferable to the previous version. Earl's suggestion of an option of switching between dots and the previous version is a good idea, however, if it doesn't require too much effort to accomplish (if it's difficult, I'm still happy with the current layout). I take it that the dot diameter reflects the margin of victory for the winning candidate (or primary vote of the winning candidate, which is roughly the same)?

My favourite addition is the ability to add multiple ridings to the sample. This was something I have wanted to see for some time, but assumed was too difficult/too intensive computing to be able to manage. Very, very pleased to see this.

The new boundary overlay is also an excellent addition.

Overall, I am really pleased with your changes.

You should have an option to not use the dots if you don't want to. I'm not a big fan of that change.

Ditto on that.  I want poll boundaries; not dots.  *Please*.

The poll boundaries are still there, just not quite so clear as they were before.

EDIT: I should note that you have to change the option near the top right from "View data for Ridings" to "View data for polls"
