In STATUS.md
a number of codes are used, but there's no clear explanation of what those codes mean. In particular:
Excluded
leaves the question of why these years' or states' had their data excluded. Are there explanations that could be made available?Data Entry
and Awaiting Review
leaves the question of these years' & states' statuses. Are there in-progress branches of these that could be uploaded? Who is reviewing the datasets in their current form?Again – thanks for all this hard work 😄
We're working working on this.
For all Vermont years it looks like the precinct name was just copied for the municipality name. Thus Burlington and South Burlington are split into their precincts incorrectly.
The data we received from the Voting Information Project often does not contain county information. I have been experimenting with trying to fill these in based on the geo-codes but I've noticed a few issues with this approach:
last_line
(city, state, zip) information which makes it harder to trust the geocode output.county_name
is one of the fields used to validate the geocode outputAnother, easier, approach could be to join the precinct_id
columns with the open-elections dataset but we'd need to be sure that a precinct name is truly unique which isn't always the case.
Maybe a mix of the two..
Edit: Updated to be more accurate
data/Arkansas/README.md
indicates that Arkansas should have data for 2016, but there is no such file. If you have that data available, it could be uploaded; if that data is not available, I'd be willing to make a fork and a PR that updates your documentation appropriately.
Thanks to you and your team for all the amazing effort that went into this.
We were originally excluding CO from the analysis because CO runs all-mail elections. However, there seems to be some interest in this data to study ease-of-access to drop-boxes and vote centers.
Reach out to John Frank at [email protected] after this is done.
Needs a little more review
This is a (non-exhaustive) list of inaccuracies in the STATUS.md
file:
data/Tennessee
folder.data/Missouri
folder.Go through Carrie's tracking sheet and for each state with vote centers for any of the years in our study period, ensure that we are detecting and accurately flagging vote centers. If we are unable to do so, explicitly mention this in the state README.
There are a number of newlines in the file that mess up the column ordering.
The documentation for the repository indicates that the September 2020 data is an "initial" data release. Additionally, STATUS.md indicates pending-style statuses for several states.
Is there currently a possibility that more data will be released in the future? If so, is there an estimate of when that might take place?

I see that Missouri's status is "Released", but the files are not in the data folder?
In most years, except 2012.
