Overview
This repository provides tools for consolidation and analysis of raw election results from the most reliable sources -- the election agencies themselves. * Consolidation: take as input election results files from a wide variety of sources and load the data into a relational database * Export: create consistent-format export files of results sets rolled up to any desired intermediate geography * tabular (tab-separated text) * xml (following NIST Election Results Reporting Common Data Format V2) * json (following NIST Election Results Reporting Common Data Format V2) * Analysis: * Curates one-county outliers of interest * Calculates difference-in-difference for results available by vote type * Visualization: * Scatter plots * Bar charts
