Why The Pattern of Power?
Most electoral analysis stays at the surface level, focusing on national swings and broad exit polls. The Pattern of Power operates at the smallest possible scale: the precinct and the district. We believe that to understand the global “pattern,” one must first decode the local “cell.”
This publication is a space for those who value structural analysis over political speculation.
Our Commitment to Rigor
Precision is our primary metric. Our work is built upon three non-negotiable pillars:
Granularity at the Source: We analyze democracy at its most granular level, ensuring that administrative nuances and geographical identities are respected with absolute correctness.
Official and Reference Data: We rely exclusively on official electoral counts and verified institutional sources. We do not work with projections or preliminary estimates; we wait for the data to be final to perform structural analysis.
The Fractal Perspective: By identifying micro-shifts in specific census tracts, we explain the broader structural trends that define World Politics. We connect the local “precinct data” with the global “historical layer.”
What to Expect
By subscribing, you will receive deep-dive reports where data meets the ballot. From granular maps and balance-of-vote analysis to long-term historical trends, our goal is to provide a clear, data-driven map of the shifting patterns of power.
Behind the Analysis
Jon Goikoetxea Goiri is an analyst focused on how massive data structures reflect individual decision-making. This interest drives his specialization in electoral data, an area that has defined a significant part of his professional career, primarily developed in the Basque Country.
