Those church-only parties are fascinating. Do they campaign in the same way state-based political parties do, with manifestos and membership and branding? Or are they really just informal "nomination groups"?

They're probably more active in campaigning than the main parties, which admittedly isn't saying much for Church elections.

It is worth noting that many of these groups are in fact strongly connected to "ordinary" political parties, who have decided not to participate in Church elections in their own name out of principle, but whose groups still continue under new names with the party's informal support. So the Bourgeois Alternative (which sounds less ridiculous in Swedish) is connected to the Moderates, the Free Liberals are connected to the Liberals, and so on. The only truly "Church-only" groups are the Open Church (liberal, left-wing), Outspoken/Fearless Church (very, very conservative - their slogan is "a church that dares to be a church"), and POSK (which has members across the political spectrum, and stridently maintains that it's not a party, just a loose association of people who want to be elected without participating in party politics).

And of course, yesterday's elections. It's worth pointing out that these are preliminary results - I'll go through the final results and change it if I can be arsed.

Is that the Left and Independents making gains?

Yes, while the Greens and the not-Moderates are losing big. I assume it's tied to a) polls, and b) the general tendency of groups tied to parties that aren't the parties themselves to crash and burn, particularly if you can't easily tell what party they're tied to.

So is the Assembly composed entirely of laity and has it always been that way?

It is today, yes. Historically, it was formed as a replacement for the discretionary power the Estate of the Clergy had used to have over Church matters, and was composed of an equal number of clergymen and laymen (32 each). In 1949 the system was changed to 43 clergy and 57 laymen, who became more and more political as the parish councils changed into elected bodies, and in 1982 the current directly elected body of 251 members was introduced (from 2013, two of these have been elected indirectly to represent parishes abroad, which is why I'm only showing 249 seats on the maps).

The 2008 Democratic Party Presidential Primary by Congressional Districts (almost every state is real data from atlas). Colorado and Alabama are the only questionable ones.
Of note is the fact that Hillary Clinton managed to win a substantial majority of congressional districts while losing the primary.

Looking at the map, did the Rügen CDU nominate the world's most popular candidate for the direct mandate? It looks like there's been a lot of people splitting their ticket there, and I can't see too many other examples of that.

Wrapping up the Germany maps, unless anyone specifically wants anything.

By far the most boring map, why does your vote have to be so evenly distributed FDP?​

As we can see, there was quite a lot of vote splitting between the first and second ballot, particularly in seats where an incumbent was well known/part of the government. However, it appears the SPD was the most affected by this from the maps, as left leaning voters went to one of the minor parties on the second ballot. The CSU also faced a turnout boost as voters to the right went to the AfD.

I used the margin of victory key previously used on similar maps for these two.
