Styling Electoral-vote.com

, , ,

Electoral Vote is an great site that aggregates all the known polls in the US Presidential and Senate elections (made by a well known American geek, who happens to live in The Netherlands). The result: a nice red-and-blue map of the States. Unfortunately, the alignment, fonts and heavy HRs make it look rather unappealing. As I intend to follow the site for quite a while again (also did this during the Bush/Kerry battle), it was worthwhile to invest some time in making a userstylesheet to improve the looks.

I've modified a copy of the site stylesheet. The changes are not very extensive, but that's OK because the site layout isn't very fancy anyway :-) Couldn't change the background color, because it is ugly if this doesn't match the background color in the automatically generated images. But I prefer to read text in Cambria. I've also made the fat horizontal rules invisible, and added some thin borders instead.

Here's the stylesheet: electoral-vote.css

Oh, and this is the current polling result: Click for www.electoral-vote.com
