As a Spaniard, I find it amusing to see the election results in Hacker News from the geeky perspective "cool app".
The truth is that we like it as well.

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!
Thanks for all your suggestions! Yes, we thought about implementing the hover, but we didn't have time for it. It can be tricky as well regarding performance, so we discarded it for this elections.
Have you thought about open-sourcing this? I'd love to see this same thing for elections elsewhere.

Yes, we have the general concensus with the newspaper to open source this. Not 100% sure when it will happen, but should be soon. :)
