DownBallotR - Access Federal, State, and Local Election Data
Provides an 'R' interface for downloading and
standardizing election data to support research workflows.
Election results are published by states through heterogeneous
and often dynamic web interfaces that are not consistently
accessible through existing 'R' packages or APIs. To address
this, the package wraps state-specific 'Python' web scrapers
through the 'reticulate' package, enabling access to dynamic
content while exposing consistent 'R' functions for querying
election availability and results across jurisdictions. The
package is intended for responsible use and relies on publicly
accessible election result pages.
