Below are two examples of how this script can be modified to be used for other elections.
- Including voters age:
Age is one of the leading indicators of voter turnaround. We can do this by adding the age description in coding lines following the data we already have, example:
winning_county = ""
winning_county_count = 0
winning_county_percentage = 0
adding
winning_county_age = 0
in other similar lines too.
- Including voters enthusiasm:
It is more a quality indicator. Similarly to the above coding lines we could add (Extremely motivated
Very motivated
Somewhat motivated
Not too motivated
Not at all motivated
No opinion)
