Pivot Point Analysis is a website focused on election analysis/forecasting and mapping, as well as providing an outlet and platform for young elections and data analysts.  We are focused on being a trusted source of information that is not subjected to a publication's given narrative of the day.

We aim to provide our audience with accurate information that will be useful to not only the niche elections community, but also just as helpful for those seeking a place to stay up to date as an election approaches.
