Election_Analysis

As part of this project, we analyzed the election audit of the Colorado Board of Elections. To execute the scripts, we use Visual Studio Code and Python programming language. By running my script, I was able to determine that three hundred sixty-nine thousand seven hundred eleven votes were cast in the state of Colorado. Further, I found out that Diana DeGette won the election with 73.8% (272,892) after I run my script.

Election-Audit Summary

For Colorado, this election audit information can be an extremely valuable piece of information; it can serve a number of purposes, for example, this information can be used to estimate the total population of Colorado.

• Including information on which genders participate more in the election in the script.
