* a subdirectory `load_or_reload_all_xxxx_xxxx` with warnings from the data uploading. You may wish to look at the file `Georgia_jurisdiction_dictionary.txt.warnings`, which lists the contests present in the xml results file that were not recognized during processing.

### Scatter plots
You can create scatter plots of results by county. For example, create a jpeg comparing Biden's vote totals to Trump's vote totals with:
```
>>> biden_v_trump = an.scatter("Georgia","2020 General","Candidate total","Joseph R. Biden","2020 General","Candidate total","Donald J. Trump",fig_type="jpeg")
