Can anybody help me figure out how to add Puerto Rico to a map? For the 2024 election map in my TL All Stand Down.

When you copy and paste the map link, change the part of the url that says "TOOLS" to read "USPRESIDENT". This will cause Puerto Rico to appear on the map in grey. You can then change the color and number of elector votes by adding "&PR=1;3;5" (or whatever you want the color/ev number/pv shade to be) to the end of the code.

Ex:



Before: [img]https://uselectionatlas.org/TOOLS/genusmap.php?year=2012&ev_c=1&pv_p=1&ev_p=1&type=calc...[/ img]


After: [img]https://uselectionatlas.org/USPRESIDENT/genusmap.php?year=2012&ev_c=1&pv_p=1&ev_p=1&type=calc...&PR=1;3;5[/ img]

Are there any other territories or cool features that one can add?

I attempted to add AS (American Samoa) and VI (Virgin Islands) and it did not add those on.

EDIT: I'm now curious to see if Canadian provinces can be added or if there's a way to make a map of just Canada. The provinces are encoded somehow (see my avatar).

That's pretty interesting; thanks for the effort!

Why can't someone just ask Dave how to access them? Or would he even know?

PR is included on the primary maps (see: https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/index.html), which is probably why it shows up but AS and VI don't.

Is there a tool that allows me to edit this without manually adjusting the URL?

Unfortunately, the only way to change the number of electors/states is to do so manually.
