Delivering democracy daily via local news, election data, and maps.

Battleground is a daily newsletter examining America’s electoral geography. Justin Case Brown writes with a “maps-first” approach (maps that he, himself created) to illustrate voting patterns for every state and district in the country. Every issue leads with a map and follows with a deep dive into the political geography backed by data and ends with bonus material in the form of “Leftover links” of relevant reads. If you’re looking to bring context to the current voting trends and avoid conspiracy rabbit holes, subscribe to Battleground and start digging!

Immensely helpful professionally, immensely insightful personally.

I have been hungry for real political insight and analysis for awhile, especially as it pertains to how local and state issues are playing out on the national stage. Battleground has been an immensely helpful professional tool for directing political strategy based on great insight and analysis and the visuals have been clutch in reporting out to my teams on this work. Personally, I find the content fascinating and I appreciate being linked to state and local resources.
