  1. What is going on in Ireland that 10 percent of votes not counting is normal?

  3. What is with the color ranges? It feels both incredibly arbitrary and incredibly specific.

  4. It bothers me that the title of the post and the chart use different spellings:

    Spoiled / spoilt

  5. The color mapping here might be literally the least color-blind friendly mapping I’ve ever seen.

  6. I think the labelling of “% of total electorate” is wrong here, it’s only the % of the electorate that turned up to vote. There are c.3.4m registered voters, and 200k spoiled their votes, indicating around 6% of the total electorate.

  8. Would be really interesting to see this mapped against the location of IPAS centers. I know of Citywest, east wall would account for Dublin bay north and D hotel in Drogheda. Not sure about midlands but seems like it could be related
