I'm interested in learning and implementing data analytics techniques for election campaigns after witnessing the role of data, and the misrepresentation of information in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election. I will be using this repo to store research papers, project ideas, and links to events that I can leverage to broaden my existing data science & predictive modeling skills.
The current focus will be on local Connecticut Election & Voter Data Analytics Projects but the techniques will be reproducible for most campaigns across the country. The name of this repo is taken from The Republic and of course Scandal.
