Any URL for me to look at? You can just put in fake data if you can't
share the real data. I haven't tested the currency support much and I
won't be surprised if there are some bugs.

Perhaps you can try something like this
<div ex:role="lens" ex:class-subcontent="lens-{{.political-party}}">
...
</div>
and then define various CSS classes
.lens-democrats {
background: blue;
}
.lens-republican {
background: red;
}
Alternatively, you can do
<div ex:role="lens"
ex:background-style-content="if(.political-party = 'democrats', 'blue',
'red')">
...
</div>

Certainly! Thanks!
