Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

If the bill becomes law, Florida would become the 13th state with such a provision.

The only dissenting vote came from a Lady Lake lawmaker -- also the mother of five -- who said she just didn't see the need because she never had a problem getting out of jury duty, if need be.

Will they have to show up and give a demonstration or will they take their word for it? I detect a loophole.
