I was surprised that so many people were thrown off by this. We want to do more cool visualizations in the future with this sort of data.

We'll make a decline to disclose at one point. Sorry about that.

It's not the fact that I care that people know which political party I choose to affiliate myself with, it's the fact that there is no apparent way to not choose. I'm not a Republican or a Democrat, don't force me to choose. A "decline" or "other" choice would solve this nicely.

Fair enough. I apologize -- we didn't think about this enough and will change it this weekend. Thanks for the feedback.

i'd suggest both an "other" and "decline to state" choice. or go crazy and include Libertarian, Tea Party, Green, and Working Families Party as well!
