Gah, I hate stats that a) don't say where the information comes from b) don't say which part of the world they're talking about (US sites are particularly prone to this). I'm assuming this is from US census data, but it's not particularly obvious. There's a rest of the world, you know....
[EDIT: looking at the app, maybe it is worldwide? Still, referring to things like "Republican" doesn't inspire confidence that it's international]

- vickytnz 12y agoOK, I missed that, but still, that suggests two US links (not that I can see the actual data, it just links to the homepage), and ... Wikipedia? What does that mean in terms of a data set?
- boomlinde 12y agoIt does, but it only points to the websites of FEC, SSA and Wikipedia, without really mentioning what data was used. That's barely more useful to me than "Source: Internet".
