DeLeon Recall Petition, Part One
When it comes to analyzing this second petition to recall Linda DeLeon, the data entry is killing me. I’ve designed my database, but I’m only about 1/10 done entering the information from the petition. So far I’ve put in 50 names.
I have determined how to calculate the number of households on the petition, the age of the petitioners, and how many petitions were gathered on each day. For the 1/10 of the petitioners so far, the mean age is 54.16, with over 20% of the signers 65 and older. The 50 petitioners so far are divided into 33 households. So far the two busiest signature-gathering days were 7/25 and 7/26.
I’m aware that the above statistics are meaningless while I only have 1/10 of the petition in my database, but that’s the kind of information I’d like to gather to satisfy my curiousity.
One bit of news that is meaningful now: there are enough petitioners missing voter ID numbers to disqualify the petition, assuming that the City Secretary cannot verify those voters. That’s not a good sign for the petition organizers.
