Collect County-Level Historical Presidential Election Results

Open rachelanddata opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

We need historical county-level (at least 1988 and >) Presidential election results. Format should match that of the 2016 Election results on data.world

1988 ~~1992~~ ~~1996~~ Source - Scroll to the bottom to select a state and then select the "County Data (Graphs)" link. This is in progress, I will post the scraper script when complete - @rachelanddata ~~2000~~ ~~2004~~ ~~2008~~ ~~2012~~

@pannellj is working on the earlier data. I will add her as an assignee once we add her to out GitHub Org.

Is all of the data coming from uselectionatlas.org? Because that might run into a license issue.

@juliannalangston we are checking into this to make sure we do not have a license issue. I will update when we get this figured out.
