Anyone work in a studio for an election gig?

So I'm watching the election results from Quebec and the CBC was rolling with some hot looking graphics for the results as the come in (sorry I tried to get a grab, but no luck).

They seem to update live and have some fairly complex builds, with many different types of pie charts, graphs etc. Out of curiosity I google around for "live motion graphics generator" etc but they all seem fairly standard-issue lower third and keying stuff.

I've just got to know!

...this doesn't count as political posting, right?

Chyron has a fair market share of the live graphics market. I've used a Chyron MicroX and Lex to pull data from an Excel file on a network share to live update donation funds raised for a PBS-type telethon. I'm sure the newer ones can do fancy graphs and stuff. It's only limited by your imagination and how many key channels you have.
