Hey all,
It has been awhile since we gave all of you an update on the project. This weekend we posted county-level results data from Missouri, and in the past few months we've added Louisiana (parish & precinct) and Virginia (precincts since 2005) as well. Our volunteers continue to help us gather results from Oregon, Kansas, Alabama, Tennessee and Washington state, while we work on ingesting county results from other states. One of our most prolific volunteers, Pete Huang, just wrote about his involvement:
As we look toward having data from 18-20 states in time for the 2016 election, here are the next states in the data processing pipeline:
1. South Carolina
2. Illinois
3. Colorado
4. New Mexico
5. Georgia
6. Ohio
For states that use Clarity election software (like SC & KY), we've developed a Python library, Clarify, that provides URLs to data files from that system. An updated version of Clarify will be released this week. If you're looking to plug in, we're currently revamping our volunteer documentation (
https://github.com/openelections/docs/issues/29), and also looking for basic election metadata from OK, SD and MA. Don't hesitate to get in touch, or hit us up with any questions.
Thanks,
Derek & Serdar
