The election_2016_data from prooffreader

Re-run scraper job to get completed results

Hi,

First off, thanks for compiling all of this information!

I was looking through the presidential_general_election_2016_by_county file and noticed there are still 507 counties that aren't reported at 100% -- the majority are from Utah and Washington.

Is there any way you could run your script again to scrape the results? I'm assuming all states/counties are reporting at 100% now. That way we'd have an entirely clear view into the total number of votes for each county.

Could you please add some details to the data in the readme file? I have trouble understanding the meaning of each columns. Thanks a lot!

General election: "District of Columbia" lists "J. Stein" as "Democratic"

Hi, thanks for scraping this!

I noticed that jill stein is labeled as democrat in DC while filtering for individual_party==Democratic and sorting by vote_pct - somehow, District of Columbia appeared at the top and the bottom of the list.

This happens in data/presidential_general_election_2016_by_county.csv and data/presidential_general_election_2016.csv, haven't checked the rest.

$ grep -n 'J. Stein' presidential_general_election_2016.csv | grep Democratic
62:,3.0,Overall 2016 District of Columbia Presidential Election Results,Democratic,False,J. Stein,4,100.0,District of Columbia,1.4,3995

$ grep -n 'J. Stein' presidential_general_election_2016_by_county.csv | grep Democratic
2675:3.0,11001,District of Columbia,Democratic,False,J. Stein,4,100.0,District of Columbia,1.4,3995

Here's the output of a script that shows candidates with more than one party assigned to them. "R. De La Fuente" stands out as another one with a similar issue, being listed as Republican somewhere.

     A. Kennedy ['American Shopping', 'Independent', 'Independent_Other', 'U.S. Taxpayers'] 
    C. Keniston ['Independent_Other', 'Veterans'] 
      D. Castle ['Constitution', 'Independent', 'Independent_Other', 'U.S. Taxpayers'] 
    E. McMullin ['Better for America', 'Independent', 'Independent_Other', 'Progressive', 'U.S. Taxpayers'] 
    E. Soltysik ['American Shopping', 'Independent_N'] 
     G. Johnson ['Independent', 'Libertarian'] 
     G. La Riva ['Independent_Other', 'Libertarian', 'Progressive'] 
      J. Hedges ['Independent', 'Progressive'] 
       J. Stein ['Democratic', 'Green', 'Independent', 'Mountain', 'Progressive', 'U.S. Taxpayers'] 
        L. Kahn ['Independent', 'Independent_Other'] 
   L. Kotlikoff ['Independent_Other', 'U.S. Taxpayers'] 
   M. Moorehead ['U.S. Taxpayers', 'Working Class'] 
       M. Smith ['Independent', 'U.S. Taxpayers'] 
R. De La Fuente ['American', 'Independent', 'Independent_N', 'Progressive', 'Republican', 'U.S. Taxpayers'] 
    T. Hoefling ['American', 'Independent_Other']

I don't deal with datasets often so I don't know if it's okay to request cleanup here when the problem might be in the source. After all there is an unexplained "D" in the tag of jill stein, while other states have "G".
