This visualization is based on the New York Times article With Kennedy’s Retirement, the Supreme Court Loses Its Center.
For each visualization, you can use the three dots to (1) save the image, (2) view the Vega-Lite spec, and (3) see the result in the Online Vega Editor.
For the desktop visualization, the New York Times uses a dot plot visualization to show the percent of times each justice votes in the majority. The main difference in our recreation is that we are missing the yellow background to highlight the text for Kennedy.
The visualization exhibits a drastic change on mobile, in which the dot plot changes to a bar chart; the underlying data for each visualization is the same.
For the thumbnail, we use the desktop visualization as a base, and update the title for the smaller space; we also reduce the number of labels.
