I think it would be interesting to see the results of regressing vote against population density + racial makeup.

- jake-low 8y agoI agree. The vote dataset doesn't have demographic breakdowns (I believe it was created by scraping post-election reports on _The Guardian_, not by relying on exit polls). But you compare the prediction errors to county-level data on race (the Census Bureau publishes these numbers) and pose the question "is the population-density model more wrong in areas of higher diversity?"
