How I did in projecting IN and NC counties based on demographics

[usregimechange]

Indiana

I projected 5 counties for Obama and 36 counties for Clinton. All of the projections were accurate.




North Carolina

I don't want to count these but I did miss a few of them.




Look for my Kentucky projections in the next few days...

1. Very nice.

Are you looking for a job with a campaign, or do you already have one?

[usregimechange]

3. Nope, just out of interest. It is a good way to learn about geopolitical demos

10. I did the same

with NC. My only stumbling blocks were a few of the coastal and southern counties. It's fun to do, and it makes election night all the more interesting.

12. Yep, you know whose votes are likely to come from where

[JackRiddler]

13. Okay, now I have to ask...

How do you do these? What database do you use? How do you generate the graphics?

To the greatest with thee, BTW.
