For a 10% swing, I add 5% to one candidates total and take away 5% from the other candidate.

No, do you enter each result manually or is there some program that takes the vote shares and computes a county map?

You have to enter them manually, sadly.

That's actually a relief -- I was afraid I had wasted hours of my life manually entering them on the maps I've made over the past year or so Tongue

There are literally thousands of counties that people have to get right to make these maps. Realistically, there are going to be a few mistakes
