My posit::conf(2025) talk with @gosterhout.bsky.social on election reporting with #rstats and #QuartoPub is up on YouTube now! See the slides here: andrewheiss.github.io/election-des... And see a whole example/tutorial site here: andrewheiss.github.io/election-desk/

My #PositConf25 talk with @andrew.heiss.phd is now on YouTube! youtu.be/UCloM4GcfVY?...

Exciting to see more election results using open source code! #rstats

Watched the 'Election Night Reporting Using R & Quarto' #positconf2025 talk on how @gosterhout.bsky.social & @andrew.heiss.phd created an auto-updating website with custom tables, interactive maps, and a dynamic 'Close Races' page #RStats #ddj GitHub: github.com/andrewheiss/... 1/2

Excited to shove Idaho down all of your throats #rstats #quartopub

Barton, Susie, and Lon were the highest turnout names in 2024, while Hudson and Asher had the lowest turnout. #idpol

This doesn’t get talked about enough.

The original #Idaho constitution

Once again asking people to keep in mind that a relative spike in google searches for a specific term does not necessarily mean a high level of absolute interest in that term

Our contribution to the gorilla-fighting discourse

Had an issue where {htmlwidgets} in my shiny app weren't displaying in an iframe embedded on a website. Turned out to be a permissioning issue that was solved by calling the resource directly from the CDN. #rstats

Since it's in Atlanta, I'll be here at my first posit::conf! I'll be speaking here with @gosterhout.bsky.social about election night reporting with #rstats and #QuartoPub (showing off {targets} and other neat tricks like this: www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2024/11... )

Only @bigskyconf.bsky.social could come up with a banner like this. @sickoscommittee.org

Heyyy @gosterhout.bsky.social is here! Follow him for civic dataviz and #rstats stuff!

States spend too much on clunky election night reporting. We just replaced ours using #rstats. dbplyr backend + reactable & leaflet viz + #quartopub site. Real magic happened with programmatic code chunks & targets pipeline done by @andrew.heiss.phd. #dataviz results.voteidaho.gov

Just finished a neat side project consulting with the Idaho Secretary of State's office to help create an #rstats + #QuartoPub website for election results, and it just worked (flawlessly!) last night with their primary election results.voteidaho.gov

And huuuge props to @gosterhout.bsky.social who designed and built and live-updated the thing!
