Block-level Canvassing Maps -- FL, GA, NC, SC

We have produced street-level Adobe maps showing estimated unregistered voters by census block for Florida (1,500 maps), Georgia (675 maps), North Carolina (750 maps) and South Carolina (1,000 maps). The maps focus on precincts where the minority voting age population is 40% or higher. These printer-ready maps are suitable for door-to-door voter registration canvassing.

Similar maps can be produced for anywhere in the country where we have block-level dataset estimates (as in Florida) or electronic voter registration files (as in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina). See the Greensboro, NC tutorial developed with our client Democracy South and corresponding map-linked spreadsheet.

Democracy South Tutorial

Winnett Hagens of Democracy South has posted an excellent tutorial showing how to work with the FairVote2020 maps. The tutorial focuses on Greensboro, N.C., but is generally appplicable to other states. Most states, however, differ in that registered voter data does not indicate race.
