BallotGuessr is Geoguessr for budding political pundits
Imagine being one of those people standing in front of an expensive touch screen on a news network on election night, zooming in and out of counties while bleating about polling and voting data? If so, you might have some fun BallotGuessr.
This is a version of GeoGuessr that asks you to guess how a county voted in the 2024 presidential election. All you need to determine the identity of each county are context clues from Google Street View images. You can move around the environment a bit, but unless you get lucky, you’ll need to have a good sense of politics and geography to succeed here.
Once you think you have an idea of where the county is, you move a slider to guess whether residents voted for the Democratic or Republican ticket and by how many points. In the daily challenge mode, you only have 30 seconds to guess in each of five rounds. I’m bad at this, but this is a fun version GeoGuessr still.
BallotGuessr features 2,845 curated Google Street View locations across all 50 states, with a maximum of 15 locations for each county. Its creator plans to expand the game with data for the 2022 midterm elections and the 2020 presidential election, as well as recent elections in France, Germany and the United Kingdom.
