Is that a new right-ish wing newspaper? I see the president is Pedro J Ramirez...

Good app nevertheless, I like the fact that you can zoom in and see detailed results

Cool app and use of D3. It would be nice if you can see what regions/towns you're hovering over before you click though.

I agree. Would be nice to see the region/towns name, as well as the winner name and percentage of votes. Other aspect is the click in the zoom out (magnifier) when you are focused in a town: it goes back to the country view, when I would expect to go back to the region view. Nevertheless, nice job!

As a Spaniard, I find it amusing to see the election results in Hacker News from the geeky perspective "cool app".

Yes, he got kicked out from "El Mundo" and created this new online paper with the (big) compensation he was paid.

First of all, Pedro J. Ramírez ... buaaargh

Having saiud that, it is a pretty cool way to show information, yet it could be better. That way of showing the data is a bit biased and over represents PP/PSOE. At the end of the day, let's say PP "won" in Madrid, they will not be able to appoint the major anyways, cause Ahora Madrid will ally with PSOE. So basically... a bit useless.

Also, "Otros" is 29.7% of the votes!!
