Description: This thesis will use data analysis to explore changes in voting in Allegheny County over the last 6 years. Allegheny County provides information on polling locations, voting district boundaries, congressional district boundaries, and house of representative boundaries. In addition to these political data sets, demographic information such as school district boundaries, police zones, and census date will also be considered. Using data from 2014 to present, analysis will be performed to see what has changed about voting in Allegheny County over time. In addition to this data analysis, this paper will explore trends in voting in Metropolitan areas, such as Atlanta, and how those compare to Pittsburgh. Atlanta has had statistically significant changes in recent history and will feature a useful case study to compare to Allegheny County., Honors Thesis Advisor : Dr. Melissa Sovak, PhD.
