#4This is pretty, but it's all statistical outliers; every highlighted spot is a small city where random fluctuations above a low baseline are most likely to generate seemingly-impressive spikes in query volume.

That's not really happening here. As it is now, the upper-mid west through New England is hard to distinguish, but there is a lot of activity in North Carolina, an extremely important State to the Trump campaign.

#7Here's what I wanna know - what has been the increase (or decrease) in voter intimidation this year versus 2012.

#8I'm a bit peeved polls didn't open until 9AM in New Rockford ND when the state (and a fair number of farmers) said they would open at 7AM. Wonder what that would be on Google's chart.

#9A 100% increase in searches for "voter intimidation" in my city (Seattle) is interesting. I'd love additional context on who is searching for that (i.e. is it the intimidators or the fearful?)
Nonetheless, this seems like the beginning of an interesting tool. What would it take to do some sort of fuzzy matching on related searches, like broken voting machines for voting machine problems? I suppose you could wait for a related term to breach a threshold and begin tracking it with related terms.
