This project's goal was to further the goals of the official Open Elections project (see Open Elections). Over the course of several months, the team contributed to these goals by building parsers and visualizations relating to the election data. The code we used is available at Code and the main visualization we created is featured on our home page (Home). Please feel free to use our code (with due credit where necessary) and contact us with any questions. We hope that our project will help you make sense of the election data, and possibly inspire you to contribute in some form!
