Data:
The main dataset being used for this project is a filtered New York State Voter File. It was retrieved via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. It was filtered so that only vote counts, number of registered voters, and turnout data per election district are shown, as it initially contains sensitive information such as names and addresses of registered voters.
Poll sites and NYCHA housing shape files were retrieved from NYC open data. For the purpose of this experiment, nearest poll site, rather than assigned, will be used as that information was not readily available. Also, one can vote provisionally in any precinct in NYC, which will be the assumption for this experiment. The figure below shows a colormap of voter turnout across all election districts, with red dots representing poll sites and blue shapes representing NYCHA lots.
