This repository contains a set of python and R scripts to parse voting registration files in the United States into csv files with the same variables:
voter_idfirst_namemiddle_namelast_namebirth_dategenderturnout2008turnout2010turnout2012turnout2014party_affiliation_2008party_affiliation_2010party_affiliation_2012party_affiliation_2014party_affiliation(current)residential_addresszipcoderace,ethnicity(in Florida and North Carolina)
When any of these variables is not available, that column will be left empty (NA). The idea is to be able to easily merge all these files if so desired.
Pull requests, comments, and suggestions are very welcome!
