Abstract:
|
How would the Latino population impact on the future regional and national elections in Nebraska and USA? In this research an interactive graphical tool is developed to visually analyze various data sources from the US Census Bureau and University of Nebraska database. The tool is built in an online Shiny Dashboard so users will conveniently reveal patterns in Latino population growth, track Hispanic political participation, and compare Latino people with other races. Data access and data cleaning methods will also be introduced in the paper.
