Election count as you've never seen it before

After five weeks of campaigning and 14 million votes, there is no clear winner from the federal election. Neither Labor nor the Coalition has won enough to seats to win power its own right. We have a hung Parliament for the first time in 70 years. Take a closer look at the state of play at the Australian election count. News.com.au election data visualisation showed you the Australian Electoral Commission's count live. Instead of presenting the count as a map, they've made each electorate into a little ball, which pulses and swings and fights for position against 149 others.
