A December of Open Sourcing

I’ve been a little lazy about pushing my resources online (and doing all the necessary best practices to make that work).

But since I publish code in my posts, it would be nice if I gave you the data to actually recreate it. I’m going to spend December cleaning up my files, and pushing as much as possible to github.

I’m not going to promise that everything will be organized enough to run out the box–I don’t think that’s worth anyone’s time–but I will try to make sure that my core datasets (“df_major”, “div_cats”, etc) are posted somewhere so you can download them.

Today, I’m doing the first batch of that. I’ve published my core, cleaned election files to the Sixty-Six Wards Data repository. There, you will find all of my *crosswalked* election results, meaning the historic results mapped to present-day boundaries. (See my post about how I do that.)

In the upcoming weeks, I’ll work on publishing the Ward Portal, the Needle, and updating the Turnout Tracker repo. Stay tuned!
