The Graphic Traffic Report was a project on Judgepedia.org from June 2013 to January 2015 that encouraged users to submit images of courthouses, judges and judicial candidates.
While the report is no longer running, all images of courthouses, judges and judicial candidates can still be submitted here.
The Final Report - January 2015
It's the final installment of the Graphic Traffic Report!
In the last installment of the Graphic Traffic Report, we would like to bring to you some major highlights of the series.
The Graphic Traffic Report has had a wonderful run. In total, since the series started, 738 images have been submitted! This is due to the many individuals who took the time to submit our many wonderful photos of judges, judicial candidates, and courthouses. Now and always, we thank you very much for your help in improving the website!
Our series State of the Nation award goes to the great state of Ohio, who was the monthly State of the Nation award winner seven times overall, with a four-month run in 2014. Overall, Ohio won twice as much as any other state throughout the run of the Graphic Traffic Report.
As impressive as the stats above are, we can't forget our last month's image total and winner of 2014. In the month of December 2014, 21 images were acquired, with our State of the Nation title being claimed by Missouri. The overall 2014 State of the Nation was, of course, Ohio.
Just because our Graphic Traffic Report is ending for now, doesn't mean we aren't accepting image submissions any longer. It is quite the opposite! So, please spread the word to everyone to keep sending those photos in! We always look forward to hearing from one and all.
Once again, thank you to all who contributed, those that will continue to contribute and our future contributors!
December 2014
Happy Holidays from the Graphic Traffic Report!
In a few short hours, the date December 31, 2014 will end, bringing in the new year of 2015.
Our past month of November was a steady one with a total of 31 images that were submitted, 26 of those being judges and the rest judicial candidates. The state of Michigan claimed our State of the Nation title with a grand total of 5 images submitted. Congratulations Michigan! The states of Ohio and Oklahoma tied for a close second place with 4 images each.
Overall, 15 different states contributed images this time around and these states included California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New York, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas.
The holidays are a wonderful time to reflect upon the reason we celebrate them. We are very grateful and celebrate all the individuals who took the time to submit our wonderful photos of judges and judicial candidates. As always, thank you very much for your help!
In just a few short hours, we will tally up the results from the month of December, and consequently the results from the whole year of 2014!
Happy New Year to each and everyone!
November 2014
Happy Thanksgiving from the Graphic Traffic Report!
The past month of October into November was a busy one, indeed! As candidates geared up and prepared for the general election, many images were submitted right before the end of October. Our image submissions for the month totaled 58 images - 39 of those were judges and the rest were judicial candidates.
Our State of the Nation title goes to North Carolina! North Carolina submitted a total of 8 images, and overall, we had a three-way tie for second place between the states of California, Ohio, and Oklahoma. These states each submitted 7 images.
When looking at the various states that submitted images, it is pretty impressive to see that the images came from almost half of the United States! 22 different states contributed images totals anywhere from 1 to 8 images each, and these states included Alabama, California, Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.
Every day and especially on Thanksgiving, it seems right to thank the many individuals from each and every state for taking the time to submit images of judges and judicial candidates. The help you give by submitting images is immense and greatly helps to improve the website. Thank you!
At the end of November, we'll again see which state will claim the title as State of Nation!
October 2014
Happy Halloween from the Graphic Traffic Report!
This past month has been a busy one as candidates gear up and prepare for the upcoming elections. Though there weren't as many images submitted as our previous months, judicial candidate images easily outnumbered the images of judges.

In the past month of June, a total of 47 images were acquired from across a span of 18 different states. It comes as no surprise that the state of Ohio is still our State of the Nation winner with a winning total of 8 images. Congratulations yet again to Ohio!

June 2014
This month marks the one-year anniversary of the Graphic Traffic Report and what a great year it has been! It was a slow start back in the beginning of June 2013, but as the year went on our image contributions started to rise, thanks to the many amazing people who took the time to contribute!
Over this past year, our staff looked forward to your contribution of images and we were not disappointed.

It’s the beginning of 2014 and the start of a new year of The Graphic Traffic Report!
Since the Graphic Traffic Report's start in June of 2013, a total of 268 images were submitted and uploaded to the website. Each submission wonderfully illustrated our pages with countless images of courthouses, judges and judicial candidates.
We also must name our last State of the Nation for 2013, and thus, a congratulations is in order for the states of Illinois, New York and North Carolina for their submissions of 2 photos each. New York was also a winner in December's State of the Nation tie between itself, Alabama, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
December's total also had one image each from the rest of the contributing states which included Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, Kansas, Kentucky and Washington.
All of the images acquired throughout this past year were added to Ballotpedia's image collection. We are grateful to all who took the time to send photos in and we hope you will help us add more as the year of 2014 progresses on.
Always remember, no matter who or where you are, we can always use your help! Each image submission counts and with a whole new year in front of us, the photo opportunities are endless!
At the end of January, we'll see which state reigns supreme as the first State of the Nation for 2014.

Eleven states in total contributed to this month’s count and this month’s winners won in a four-way tie for 1st place. The states of Alabama, New York, Tennessee and Wisconsin each contributed two images for the tie.
The rest of the contributing states had one image each, all of which were added to Ballotpedia’s ever-growing image collection. Remember, no matter who or where you are, we can always use your help! Each image submission counts and with the end of the year near and beautiful winter wonderlands in abundance, it's a very good time to snap and submit a photo.

In total, 34 images were acquired. The State of Florida took the lead with 27 images submitted, thus becoming September’s State of the Nation winner!
All other states had one photo each in the count, all of which contribute to Ballotpedia’s exciting and growing image collection.

September 2013
In the month of August, The Graphic Traffic Report garnered 11 images. Though August was not anywhere near the whopping total of 172 images for July, those 11 images submitted made a great addition to our pages.
The State of the Nation this time around was the great State of Ohio! Ohio won with only two images to every other state’s one. This goes to show that one person, one picture can make all the difference.
Thank you to all who contributed images this summer. As the year transitions into fall, you can help continue to make a difference. No matter who you are or where you are, we need your help! Snap and submit a photo to help expand our image collection.

August 2013
In the month of July, The Graphic Traffic Report garnered a whopping 172 images! - quite a bit more than doubling our image goal for July. Many thanks to those who sent in images throughout the month, as well as a wonderful donation of Georgia courthouse images for use on our pages from GeorgiaInfo.org. So, be sure to jump on over and check out our Georgia county pages, each with a wonderful courthouse photo.
It will be one amazing summer if the month of August can beat July's image total, so, remember, if our site has helped you, you can return the favor by helping our image collection continue to grow. If you have a friend or family member who is a judge, encourage them to check out Ballotpedia and submit a photo, or snap a picture for them (with permission!). If you pass by a courthouse on your way to work or on your travels, simply take a picture and submit it. The great part about this project is that fact that anyone and everyone can join in!
At the end of August, we'll again see which state reigns supreme as the State of the Nation!
July 2013
The Graphic Traffic Report in June garnered 13 images - not bad for the first edition. We know we can double that in July, but we need your help! If our site has helped you, you can return the favor by adding to our image collection. Submit an image of a courthouse in your neighborhood or on your vacation. If you have a friend or family member who is a judge, snap a picture (with permission!). The great part about this project is that everyone can join in: a judge on the way into a courthouse, a tourist marveling at the local architecture or a citizen passing by a campaign sign.
At the end of July, we'll again see which state reigns supreme as the State of the Nation!
