Visualize This: Patterns in Early Voting Emerge From The Data

Thanks to the AZ Data Guru we can see the distribution patterns for percentage of early ballot returns that have been sent in - at least in one city here in Maricopa County Phoenix.
At 210k, more people have voted in a race than ever before.
Your MesaZona blogger would love to get his hands-on an infographic like the one inserted below from Kate Gallego on AZ Data Guru's
Today's ballots bring us to approximately 56% of all ballots that we should expect to see.
More factoids:
> 10% (133k) early ballots returned so far have never voted in a General Election in .
> The largest age category is 18-34 in this subset (36k).
   14k of which were Ds, 9.8k Rs, and 11.2k OTH.
