### 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 ### "county" "technology" "columns" "under" "over" "Bush" "Gore" "Browne" "Nader" "Harris" "Hagelin" "Buchanan" "McReynolds" "Phillips" "Moorehead" "Chote" "McCarthy" "Alachua" "Optical" 1 217 105 34124 47365 658 3226 6 42 263 4 20 21 0 0 "Baker" "Optical" 1 79 46 5610 2392 17 53 0 3 73 0 3 3 0 0 "Bay" "Optical" 1 541 141 38637 18850 171 828 5 18 248 3 18 27 0 0 "Bradford" "Optical" 2 41 695 5414 3075 28 84 0 2 65 0 2 3 0 0 "Brevard" "Optical" 1 277 136 115185 97318 643 4470 11 39 570 11 72 76 0 0 "Broward" "Votomatic" 1 4946 7826 177902 387703 1217 7104 54 135 795 37 74 122 0 0 "Calhoun" "Optical" 1 78 0 2873 2155 10 39 0 1 90 1 2 3 0 0 "Charlotte" "Optical" 2 170 2985 35426 29645 127 1462 6 15 182 3 18 12 0 0 "Citrus" "Optical" 1 154 54 29767 25525 194 1379 5 16 270 0 18 28 2 0 "Clay" "Optical" 1 223 157 41736 14632 204 562 1 14 186 3 6 9 0 0 "Collier" "Votomatic" 1 2070 1134 60450 29921 185 1400 7 34 122 4 10 29 0 0 "Columbia" "Optical" 1 76 615 10964 7047 127 258 1 7 89 2 8 5 0 0 "DeSoto" "Datavote" 2 66 568 4256 3320 23 157 0 0 36 3 8 2 3 3 "Dixie" "Datavote" 1 22 306 2697 1826 32 75 0 2 29 0 3 2 0 0 "Duval" "Votomatic" 2 5090 21855 152098 107864 952 2757 37 162 652 15 58 41 0 0 "Escambia" "Optical" 1 679 3680 73017 40943 296 1727 6 24 502 3 110 20 0 0 "Flagler" "Optical" 1 60 7 12613 13897 60 435 1 4 83 3 3 12 0 0 "Franklin" "Optical" 2 70 350 2454 2046 17 85 1 3 33 0 3 2 0 0 "Gadsden" "Optical" 2 121 1946 4767 9735 24 139 3 4 38 4 7 6 0 0 "Gilchrist" "Datavote" 1 47 241 3300 1910 52 97 0 1 29 0 2 4 0 0 "Glades" "Datavote" 1 68 281 1841 1442 12 56 0 3 9 1 0 1 0 0 "Gulf" "Optical" 2 47 362 3550 2397 21 86 2 4 71 2 2 9 0 0 "Hamilton" "Optical" 2 31 373 2146 1722 12 37 4 1 23 8 7 4 0 0 "Hardee" "Datavote" 1 84 323 3765 2339 17 75 0 2 30 0 2 3 0 0 "Hendry" "Optical" 2 39 760 4747 3240 11 104 3 1 22 2 7 2 0 0 "Hernando" "Optical" 1 83 148 30646 32644 116 1501 8 26 242 4 10 22 0 0 "Highlands" "Votomatic" 1 466 520 20206 14167 64 545 6 16 127 3 7 8 0 0 "Hillsborough" "Votomatic" 1 5431 3640 180760 169557 1138 7490 35 217 847 29 68 154 0 0 "Holmes" "Optical" 1 97 40 5011 2177 18 94 1 7 76 3 6 2 0 0 "IndianRiver" "Votomatic" 1 1044 790 28635 19768 122 950 4 13 105 2 13 10 0 0 "Jackson" "Optical" 2 94 998 9138 6868 40 138 0 2 102 1 4 7 0 0 "Jefferson" "Datavote" 1 30 540 2478 3041 14 76 2 1 29 1 0 0 0 1 "Lafayette" "Optical" 2 17 160 1670 789 6 26 2 0 10 1 1 0 0 0 "Lake" "Optical" 1 203 3138 50010 36571 204 1460 4 36 289 1 21 15 0 0 "Lee" "Votomatic" 1 1975 2531 106141 73560 538 3587 30 81 305 5 34 96 0 0 "Leon" "Optical" 1 176 0 39062 61427 330 1932 9 28 282 7 16 31 0 0 "Levy" "Optical" 2 51 708 6858 5398 92 284 1 1 67 1 10 12 0 0 "Liberty" "Optical" 2 21 167 1317 1017 12 19 0 3 39 0 1 2 0 0 "Madison" "Datavote" 1 31 444 3038 3014 18 54 0 2 29 1 1 5 0 0 "Manatee" "Optical" 1 109 1264 57952 49177 242 2491 5 35 271 3 19 26 0 0 "Marion" "Votomatic" 1 2410 890 55141 44665 662 1809 13 26 563 6 22 49 0 0 "Martin" "Lever" 1 177 56 33970 26620 109 1118 14 29 112 7 20 14 0 0 "MiamiDade" "Votomatic" 1 10570 17833 289533 328808 762 5352 87 119 560 35 69 124 0 0 "Monroe" "Optical" 1 83 97 16059 16483 162 1090 1 26 47 0 3 7 9 0 "Nassau" "Datavote" 2 197 1295 16404 6952 63 253 0 8 90 4 3 3 0 0 "Okaloosa" "Optical" 1 83 679 52093 16948 313 985 4 15 267 2 33 20 0 0 "Okeechobee" "Optical" 2 84 774 5057 4588 21 131 1 4 43 1 3 4 0 0 "Orange" "Optical" 1 640 1197 134517 140220 891 3879 13 65 446 7 41 46 0 0 "Osceola" "Votomatic" 1 634 1039 26212 28181 309 732 10 20 145 5 10 33 1 0 "PalmBeach" "Votomatic" 2 10134 19218 152951 269732 743 5565 45 143 3411 302 190 104 0 0 "Pasco" "Votomatic" 1 1763 2124 68582 69564 413 3393 19 83 570 14 16 77 0 0 "Pinellas" "Votomatic" 1 4240 4258 184825 200630 1230 10022 41 442 1013 27 72 170 0 0 "Polk" "Optical" 1 219 668 90295 75200 366 2059 8 59 533 5 46 36 0 0 "Putnam" "Optical" 1 82 79 13447 12102 114 377 2 7 148 3 10 12 0 0 "SantaRosa" "Optical" 1 163 67 36274 12802 131 724 1 13 311 1 43 19 0 0 "Sarasota" "Votomatic" 1 1846 994 83100 72853 431 4069 11 94 305 5 15 59 0 0 "Seminole" "Optical" 1 203 48 75677 59174 550 1946 6 38 194 5 18 26 0 0 "StJohns" "Optical" 1 426 130 39546 19502 210 1217 4 11 229 2 12 13 0 0 "StLucie" "Optical" 1 537 82 34705 41559 165 1368 4 12 124 10 13 29 0 0 "Sumter" "Votomatic" 1 596 170 12127 9637 53 306 2 2 114 0 3 17 0 0 "Suwannee" "Optical" 2 39 686 8006 4075 52 180 2 4 108 0 9 5 16 0 "Taylor" "Optical" 2 87 517 4056 2649 4 59 0 3 27 1 8 1 0 0 "Union" "Hand" 2 25 233 2332 1407 15 33 1 0 37 0 1 0 0 0 "Volusia" "Optical" 1 339 171 82357 97304 444 2910 8 36 498 5 20 70 0 1 "Wakulla" "Datavote" 1 49 373 4512 3838 30 149 2 3 46 1 0 6 0 0 "Walton" "Optical" 1 135 72 12182 5642 68 265 3 11 120 2 7 18 0 0 "Washington" "Optical" 1 305 36 4994 2798 32 93 0 2 88 0 9 5 3 1
