Election_data

Consolidated State, Local and Federal election data across the USA

Goals

• A unified dataset for all elections across the USA
• A simple tool to query that data to ask questions such as "all elections where the winners have won with fewer than 50% of the vote"

Tasks/Tools

Python

• Pandas
• DataTable ?
• Jupyter?

Scraping Maybe an instance of CKAN for archiving the data? Probably best to store links/CSVs in the repo for now. Do we need a database/backend? What does our standardized format look like?

Importing
