It's okay but this site beats the hell out of it.

I loved it back in 2008 though, in fact on election night I used it's interactive map to keep track.

In all honesty, though, their interactive maps are way easier to use and they have them for the Senate, House, and Governors as well.

It's awesome for newbies or casual people. A lot of people still follow the Red for the Reps and Blue for the Dems.  But if you get to be a die hard and fantasize about older elections then that's not for you.

They do get points for the calcs for the other races though. That's one thing our site needs. Seat calculators for at least Senate and Governor races.

Yes, and their calculators are also way easier to use.

I use it occasionally when I am playing around with scenarios, because it is easier for that. It is not easier for sharing your map using HTML text, as this site's is.

FF. I use them if I want to do quick electoral math, while I use Atlas to make more formal-looking maps.

I'm not a huge fan of the way they handle Maine and Nebraska, though.
