This project was inspired by FiveThirtyEight's 2018 house forecast, where they use this friendlier way of showing probabilities. I decided to reverse-engineer the algorithm they used and make it easily available to incorporate in other visualizations, etc. The qualitative descriptions are from the New York Times live election results in 2020.
Posts about this project: original release, after adding qualitative descriptions and a bunch of languages
