Tip: Click any work to highlight its journey through all steps. Click again to reset.
The height of each rectangular node represents the work's EPH point total at that elimination step. Taller nodes have more points and are stronger candidates.
The thickness of each line shows the number of EPH points flowing between works:
When a work is eliminated, its points are redistributed to other works based on voter preferences. Thin redistribution lines indicate that only a few ballots listed another eligible work as their next preference — the majority of ballots supporting the eliminated work had exhausted all their preferences among the remaining candidates. This is normal and expected behavior in E Pluribus Hugo, especially in later elimination rounds.
When a work is eliminated, its points are redistributed to other remaining works. The largest recipients get their own individual redistribution lines, but minor recipients — works that received only a small share of the redistributed points — are aggregated into a single "Other" node. This keeps the diagram readable by avoiding a tangle of tiny lines. The height of the "Other" node represents the combined points going to all of these minor recipients (which are still on the graph).
If an eliminated work shows few or no redistribution lines, it means most ballots supporting that work had no other eligible works left to transfer to. These are exhausted ballots, and their points are removed from the calculation.
