We want to entertain you with these animations

The election is coming. And so began hours of waiting for data, results and predictions – and possibly court decisions. You won't notice that our newsroom can be stressful and busy. You can calmly stare at our beautiful graphics, click away, and pass the time as the situation allows. With our election charts, you'll be well-informed… until a new deal is elected.

This is our 2020 graphic. I can guarantee you this: by 2024, it will be prettier, more thoughtful, more informative, more interactive, smarter, and even better. Image source: watson.ch

So that our beautiful graphics don't just stare lifelessly at you for hours, we installed a little feature in 2020: clicking on one of the candidate portraits triggers a speech bubble. For example, Trump says “Covfefe” or “Hamberders!”

As already promised, this year’s election graphic elements will be prettier, more thoughtful, more informative, smarter and even more interactive. Specifically, this means: Both candidates are clickable again. But this year instead of a flashy speech bubble, it sparked an animated short.

Anyone who has done animation knows that it is impossible to make such a small movie in half an afternoon. Even if it's just pixel animation. That's why we started early. Only in this case, it was too early. You know the rest of the story.

Shortly before the third Biden GIF was completed, Joe Biden mumbled in such an innocuous way during a televised debate with Donald Trump that he had to announce days later that he would not be running again Re-elected. So far, so good. The world breathed a sigh of relief. But my Joe Biden GIF is garbage.

In order not to completely waste working time, we attach Biden's GIF here as a small teaser. GIFs of Harris and Trump will be available during the election.

Sleepy Joe

Classic Biden

If you think we're taking the old man seriously, just wait for this GIF of Trump and Harris. In this sense: may the elections finally begin.

^{Since you've made it this far, here's a tip for a little Easter egg. Repeatedly clicking on the candidates on the 2024 election graphic may trigger more than just a GIF. Maybe. In some cases. perhaps.}
