In the months following the shooting, the Florida students mobilized a national campaign to increase youth voter turnout, and by this organization's assessment of 39/50 states, it worked. \r\n\r\nI got a copy of the organization's raw data, and I plan to create the following visuals: \r\n\r\n- A stacked bar chart showing the states with a youth vote increase/decrease: Pre-Parkland 18-29 numbers and Post-Parkland 18-29 numbers.\r\n- Two pie charts zeroing in on Florida's specific increase. In the 75 days following the Parkland shooting, the voter registration for adults 18-29 increased by more than 11,000 individuals, making them the largest new voter pool in the state.\r\n- The largest new voter pools overall in each state to show which people are getting mobilized \r\n\r\nSome inspiration: \r\n\r\n![inspo1](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14318896/43153499-75002eb2-8f3f-11e8-9f1c-f30934a2fa5a.png)\r\n![inspo2](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14318896/43153500-750c6ad8-8f3f-11e8-84ee-7374ac4e7c4a.png)\r\n![inspo3](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14318896/43153501-75165390-8f3f-11e8-87d0-fe51d8b0bff7.png)\r\n\r\n## Details\r\n\r\n**Possible headline(s):** \r\n- Young Americans Skyrocket Voter Registration to Change 2018 Midterms\r\n- Where the Post-Parkland Youth Vote Could Land Its Largest Impact\r\n- Get Out the [Youth] Vote\r\n\r\n**Dataset(s):** \r\nhttps://github.com/linleysanders/data-studio/tree/master/Code/03-youth-vote\r\nRaw Counts: Pre and Post Parkland Voter Registraton\r\nPercentages: Pre and Post Parkland Voter Registraton\r\n\r\n<img width=\"639\" alt=\"screen shot 2018-07-24 at 12 52 21 pm\" src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14318896/43153897-929da962-8f40-11e8-85a2-6ae819184714.png\">\r\n<img width=\"403\" alt=\"screen shot 2018-07-24 at 12 52 30 pm\" src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14318896/43153898-92a76772-8f40-11e8-9f54-43e569ebe379.png\">\r\n\r\n**Code repository:** \r\n**Youth Vote**: https://github.com/linleysanders/data-studio/tree/master/Code/03-youth-vote\r\n\t\r\n**Possible problems/fears/questions:** \r\nNot much yet—I just have a lot of work to do in order to get the datasets in a chart-able place.

I'm going to have to create a new column for that, I'm just deliberating how to compare states AND compare age groups in a fair way. These colors are wholly irrelevant right now, but this is a visualization of the 18-29 percentage voter increase per state. It measures Post-Parkland, then the second bar is Pre-Parkland. Very counter-intuitive. I'm going to work on this later tonight and get something actually readable up. I think I'll need to do counts, not percentages, also.\r\n\r\n<img width=\"1015\" alt=\"screen shot 2018-07-24 at 12 57 16 pm\" src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/14318896/43154141-4dcfd016-8f41-11e8-9173-f3f2793860f4.png\">\r\n\r\n## Checklist\r\n\r\nThis checklist must be completed before you submit your draft.\r\n\r\n- [x] I have already spent time with my dataset, opening it, exploring it, etc\r\n- [x] I have created a \"DIARY.md\" file to save links and list all of the terrible, no good problems I come across\r\n- [x] My issue links to my data set(s)\r\n- [x] My issue links to my code repository\r\n- [x] My issue explains what I'd like to explore in the data set\r\n- [x] My issue includes images - either inspiration or what I've done so far"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jsoma/data-studio-projects/issues/comments/409726079","html_url":"https://github.com/jsoma/data-studio-projects/issues/214#issuecomment-409726079","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/jsoma/data-studio-projects/issues/214","id":409726079,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQwOTcyNjA3OQ==","user":{"login":"sarahslo","id":659014,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjY1OTAxNA==","avatar_url":"https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/659014?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/sarahslo","html_url":"https://github.com/sarahslo","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sarahslo/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sarahslo/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sarahslo/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sarahslo/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sarahslo/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sarahslo/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sarahslo/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sarahslo/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sarahslo/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-08-01T21:15:47Z","updated_at":"2018-08-01T21:15:47Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"i'm having to do a bit of poking around here to read your plans to understand what the chart shows.\r\nis this CHANGE in the voter registration?
