The current table looks like this, in Excel. Category / State Positive Registration / MD Positive Registration / CO Positive Registration / MA Positive Early Voting / MD Positive Early Voting / MN
(and on and on) When I map the data using the "map my own data" wizard, it arbitratily puts the point "somewhere" in the state. The only way for me to move that point is to hover my pointer over a place where I want the point to go, make note of the lat/long, then go into the dataview and retype the new latitude longitude in there. I'd like to be able to just drag the point to a new location in the state like I drag the label for a state instead of noting new latitude/longitude then typing the new location I want the point. However, that might not be possible.
