To perform election audit by implementing python scripts. Python has been used to write code and automate tasks which includes total number of votes, number of votes after each candidate, winner of an election in Colorado and the percentage by which candidate has won the election.
- A total of 369711 votes were cast in election
- Voting happened in three counties in total which are Denver, Jefferson and Arapahoe. Denver had the largest turnout. It was 82.8 percent of total votes cast. Jefferson had 10.5 percent while Arapahoe only had 6.7 percent.
- Denver had the largest number of votes.

- Diana Degette won the election by 73.8% by 272,892 votes.
Python has been used to automate election audit results. This can be a great approach to do election audit for future as same code can be used to extract information of own interest. This can be used to get the winner, percentage by which winner won, number of candidates, which county they won from. Code can be manipulated to extract desired results from given data.
- This script can be used again by changing variable names which match the dataset given to analyst.
- This can also be used to create list of any dataset which need analysis.
