This is an effort to download Florida election results in near-real time, and convert them into the Elex format. This was a joint effort between the Palm Beach Post and the Miami Herald. Those with questions can email Mike Stucka at [email protected] and Caitlin Ostroff at [email protected].

This is an effort to parse county-level results for Miami-Dade, Broward, Monroe and Manatee. It also pulls from the state's county-wide file.

Setup: Install the requirements

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

The Files:

• bash missionControl.sh runs the scrapers and the parsers to pull election results
  • python Dade.py Dade County scraper
  • python Broward.py Broward County scraper
  • python Monroe.py Monroe County scraper
  • python Manatee.py Manatee County scraper
  • python composite_csvs.py Merges all of the county results into one Elex-formatted csv and spits out resultscomposite.json. This currently commented out becasue the Herald wound up not using it.
  • python calculations.py Does all of the math for the races and spits out stateagg.json and countyagg.json for an aggregate count of the races

The Data

Data is stored in the /snapshots directory followed by the county name for each
