All code related to scraping, parsing, cleaning, and processing data used by PEC

data-backend's Issues

Make updates w/ new CNalysis data

Full length linked tables for voterpower

make two seperate full state tables for the senate and presidential states and embed them in linked posts like for the covid sidebar

Moneyball Table Updating

don't re-render the table if clicked region is same state as current--save time and avoid browser task load

add links to candidate names based on campaign site if exists -> ballotpedia page if known -> no link (these would only be extremely unimportant regions)

Count Priors as a Poll

In line with conversation with Sam, adjust scraping pipeline to count the priors (2016 election results) as a poll. This will impact only states with <3 polls.

In current system, the prior is only used if there are 0 polls since 2020

Update Geojsons

Latest model output from Jacob and parse in candidates from Zach's work.

district popup table sizing small screens

font and margins need to be smaller (probably 3 steps: full size, 1300px > 800px, <800px)

Add Mapbox attribution in bottom right of map

Moneyball Url Parameters

give each important state its own url

KY senate is incorrect (as displayed on July 22)

I assume this is a known issue, but KY is shown on PEC as a tie. That does not match the underlying data.

NH Presidential Margin looks off

Showing Trump by 2

Add Nebraska to map

Moneyball state textfield input

input format is not clear nor forgiving:
-maybe implement autocomplete
-at minimum be case sensitive and accept full or 2 letter postal state names

Sam's suggestions for UI response to input:
-If a single state is entered, I think it should zoom to that state.
-If a list of states is interested, I think it could zoom to the first state listed.

Senate Scraper Update

does it scrape Mississippi polls between Espy (D) and Hyde-Smith (R)? That is getting closer, need to start including it.
