% County data from the 2000 Presidential Election in Florida. % % Compiled by Brett Presnell % Department of Statistics, University of Florida % % These data are derived from three sources, described below. As far % as I am aware, you are free to use these data in any way that you % see fit, though some acknowledgement is always nice. % % The candidate vote counts are the final certified counts reported % by the Florida Division of Elections. These were obtained from % the NORC web site in the file Cert_results.csv. Note that these % do NOT inculde the federal absentee votes (so that Gore's total % vote is actually higher here than Bush's). % % The undervote and overvote counts were extracted from the NORC % ballot level data in the file aligned.txt. Since aligned.txt is % too large to work with in R (or almost any other program) I used % cut (a standard UNIX program) to extract just the columns I needed: % % cut -f 2,9,10 -d"|" aligned.txt > tmp % % Then I read the results into R and processed them there. % % The technology and columns data were extracted from the Media % Group data from the NORC web site. "Technology" is simply the % type of voting machine used, and "columns" is 1 if the ballot % listed the presidential candidates in a single column on a single % page, and 2 if the presidential candidates were spread over two % columns or two pages of the ballot. % % These agree with some earlier data that I had obtained from the NY % Times web site, except that in the media group data the PalmBeach % county ballot (the famous butterfly ballot) was listed as having % one column. I would definitely call this a two-column ballot, so % that is the designation recorded here. At one time I thought that % MiamiDade County also used a two-column ballot, but I was wrong % (the ballot listed the candidates and parties in English and % Spanish in opposing columns). Images of most of the ballots can % be found on the New York Times web site: % www.nytimes.com/images/2001/11/12/politics/recount/index_BALLOT.html % % % % Information about the dataset % CLASSTYPE:
