Posted
By: Joe Strupp The Washington Post is once again offering its presidential election "Political Landscape" map that gives "interactive, state-by-state coverage of the presidential, senatorial and gubernatorial races this election season," according to a release.

"The map allows readers to sort states in a variety of ways: battleground states in the presidential race, key Senate contests or a look at the entire country's gubernatorial races," the announcement stated. "By clicking on a state, a reader can easily find in-depth background information on the compelling life stories of candidates, watch campaign ads, find upcoming campaign events, see what cities are raising the most money for candidates, get historical voting records and the latest news."

?In this historical political year, with a wealth of monumental races going on across the nation, this map makes it easy for readers to navigate the vast amounts of information and find what they?re looking for,? Jim Brady, Executive Editor of washingtonpost.com, said in a statement. ?This map presents a spread of the most noteworthy information, while also giving readers a launching point to dive deep into the campaigns race by race and state by state.?
