Data analysis: Covid vaccination in US by Trump vote share
This is an attempt to replicate and extend the graph in this tweet: https://twitter.com/charles_gaba/status/1413499252177780737
Code is written in R and uses renv to manage dependencies.
This is just a test of gganimate - I am less familiar with the intricacies of these data sets, so caveat emptor. This is just a toy analysis for me. Any hints where I went wrong interpreting the data/computing summaries would be appreciated. Issues include:
- Differences between states in reporting in the election data (how/whether a total is calculated)
- Some counties have 0 vaccination rates throughout
- "Unknown" counties in both data sets
If you don't want to muck about with github, just download the project from the green "Code" button above. Choose "Download ZIP".
To run:
- Install the
renvpackage. - Open the project in RStudio.
- Run
renv::restore()to install the dependencies. - Run the code in
analysis.R.
You may need to install binaries for ffmpeg to generate the video file, if you don't already have it installed.
