@michaelbishop.me what did you make?

a turnout map for a state senate district special election that's next week. I've been using Mapbox for years, but when I saw the Protomaps pricing using R2 I had to check it out. I'm part of a local indie journalism project/collective and want to be able to share/build maps & not break bank.
