Missing election data for US Senate HI

Closed this issue · 5 comments

Hello! I noticed that you are missing the results for US Senate candidates Dan Decker and Feena M. Bonoan for Precinct 01-01 in Hawai'i County, Hawai'i.

The results should be as follows: Bonoan 35 mail and 4 in person , Decker 19 mail and 0 in person.

You can confirm these numbers here on pages 1 and 2.

The party_detailed field appears incorrect for the majority of candidates as well as most are listed as Aloha Aina Party.

Thanks very much for pointing out the problem and sorry I forgot to actually respond and close this Issue. There was a typo in the cleaning script that skipped the first two rows of the raw data. I've updated it and re-uploaded the cleaned data. Hopefully the issue is solved. Thanks again

Thanks! I do want to note still both the party_detailed and party_simplified candidate fields are mostly incorrect as you have assigned Aloha Aina Party and Other, respectively, to the vast majority of candidates.

Hmm, are you seeing the most recent version now? In the Aloha Aina Party I see

DAN DECKER
LEONARD K NAKOA
DEVINSHAW K MCMACKIN
KAPANA THRONAS-KAHO'ONEI
ERNEST CARAVALHO

Ah okay yeah I see it does look better now. I had downloaded a version at 4:01pm that had the corrected two candidates for US Senate but the parties were still incorrect. I see that in a latest version, the parties are also corrected. Thank you!

Right, sorry -- it looks like I first uploaded an intermediate version with one change but not the other. Thanks for bringing the issues to our attention!
