Editing shapefile precinct names here, and election result precinct names here. Run those two scripts individually and afterwards, merge the clean shapefile and clean election results using this script (note: these generate CSV files for the ease of viewing mis-matches, but eventually you will want to save .shp and .geojson files to preserve the geometry column).
It is worthwhile to try matching these boundaries to election results to see how it compares to the census partnership file.
Mismatches to address
Atlantic (001)
Election results “port republic city vote” should probably be deleted because I doubt that is a unique precinct. Verify with county
Camden (007)
Election results have “Gloucester City ward 3” and “Gloucester city W3”. What is the difference?
Election results have “City of Gloucester” and “City of Camden” precincts. Probably not unique precincts. Verify with county
Mercer County (021)
“Princeton” precincts: Shapefile has princeton township and princeton borough , elections just have “princeton”
Other issues
There are precincts in the election results that I suspect are not unique precincts. I believe they are the counts of precinct groupings aggregated into one row. For example, in Warren county, we see the following precinct names:
In this example, the final precinct, “washtwp” appears to be close to the sum of the precincts named washtwp 1-5. If this is truly the case, the final precinct should be removed from the election results.
In the document “mismatch_july2020.xlsx”, I highlighted the precincts in red that I suspect should be deleted.
