US election data sets

Covering 2000-2016.

Recently released by Library of Congress data package on data.labs.loc.gov/packages/, with associated  new resources to help researchers understand and use the data.

The new data package includes enhanced documentation explaining the contents of the dataset and how it was created,  as well as metadata for candidate campaign sites extracted from the United States Elections Web Archive.

A Python notebook is available to demonstrate the basics of using the dataset—including how to query the metadata, filter and download CDX files, and analyse the text.
