In general, Alaska data is crappy. Also with the other data. Lots of nearly unpopulated areas.
New data package: US county data, demographics, social, etc. + election data (08, 12, 16) https://github.com/Deleetdk/USA.county.data … #rstats #opendata

# of votes is there, it's called "votes". ;) NYT websites sends the data in JSON, spent a few hours restructuring it.

It's a great dataset for blogging a lot of neat plots + maps. Use the choroplethr package to map them easily.

Do you have a post up about this dataset now? (I'm interested in race, income as predictors, if not I'll do it myself)
