We’re building the first open source, publicly available national voter database in the United States to power grassroots campaigns, monitor voter suppression, and make door-to-door advocacy possible for anyone.
Monthly Goals:
- Create loaders for new states
- Enhance reliability of existing loaders
- Create Python geocoder to tag households with lat/long
- Develop queries to explore data quality
- Begin work on flash API
Skills needed: PostgreSQL, GIS, Python, Pentaho Data Integration (we can help you learn)
