Data Vis Dispatch, October 11
Welcome back to the 63rd edition of Data Vis Dispatch! Every week, we’ll be publishing a collection of the best small and large data visualizations we find, especially from news organizations — to celebrate data journalism, data visualization, simple charts, elaborate maps, and their creators.
Recurring topics this week include storms, elections in Brazil and the U.S., and developments in the war in Ukraine.

Other maps and charts covered everything from new rules in baseball to fall colors in France:
