You can view the previous two years' worth of GriffGraph BoP base maps here. To see all comparisons (Balance of Power, Voter Registration Plurality by Region & Swings), you can leap-frog through each individual GriffGraph update starting here.

This month is finally here, and with a new template/design! Enjoy.

Why is Labor so weak in the Pacific region?

Because they moved to the Mideast and eliminated what was once the most Federalist region.

I like the new map design. The swing map just whatever party gained the most members in the region compared to the others? And the first map the shades are based on all officeholders?

The swing map is a reflection of the score changes on the first map from month to month. For new parties (like CR, in this case), I only include them on their first month if they have added members and officeholders in a given region over the past month. In the Northeast's case, even the addition of a CR in the form of CJO wasn't enough to actually outweigh the improvement of TPP's score over the past month.

The first map (Balance of Power) is determined by averaging out three separate metrics: the census rolls, the regional legislature and the executive/judicial/Senate offices. So if a party in a given region holds 2/5 regional seats, the Senate seat and the Governor's seat (but doesn't hold LG or CJO) and has 10/42 members, then the formula would be ((2/5)+(2/4)+(10/42)/3), which would give them a BoP score of 37.94%.
