[R] Dataset from one precinct's turnout in yesterday's election
FWIW, here's a little data set I collected yesterday while working as an election judge in a precinct in Maryland: End DEM REP IND LIB OTH 8:00 40 12 7 1 0 9:00 30 7 3 0 0 10:00 35 13 6 0 0 11:00 31 10 8 0 0 12:00 23 4 2 0 0 1:00 23 5 0 0 0 2:00 20 8 1 0 0 3:00 24 5 6 0 0 4:00 15 6 4 0 0 5:00 24 8 3 0 0 6:00 24 10 4 0 1 7:00 35 7 6 0 0 8:00 13 6 3 0 0 'End' is time the hourly tallies closed; polls were open from 7:00am to 8:00pm. Other columns are the numbers of DEMocrate, REPublican, INDependent (including unaffiliated), LIBertarian and OTHer (such as Green) party members voting. Total registered voters in precinct was 769. Interesting exercises might include tabulating the marginal totals and determining if Democrats or Republicans vote earlier or later. Hope this is enjoyable or useful. -Kevin Kevin Zembower Internet Services Group manager Center for Communication Programs Bloomberg School of Public Health Johns Hopkins University 111 Market Place, Suite 310 Baltimore, Maryland 21202 410-659-6139
