Results here: https://github.com/tonmcg/US_County_Level_Election_Results_08-20/blob/master/2016_US_County_Level_Presidential_Results.csv
are different from results here:
https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/results/president
For nearly every county I checked. Why?
@iraykhel The notebook that compiles the 2016 county-level election results pulls together estimates published major news organizations. It's possible that the New York Times updated their site with actual raw vote total certified by the secretaries of state after the notebook was last run.
HELP WANTED: We need a volunteer to re-run the 2016 Jupyter notebook to compile the latest results.
