The Cartographer
Your command center for American elections. Interactive Mapbox visualization with county-level results from 1860 to 2024. Every feature in Akashic Edge renders within this map.
Akashic Edge Has Two Pillars
The Cartographer is the map that knows elections. It's your command center where every view, panel, and analysis renders. The Historian is the AI that answers any question. It's available on every page to query 164 years of electoral data.
Every feature you see is a view into one of these two pillars. This page focuses on The Cartographer — the interactive map interface that powers Akashic Edge.
