This is a brief description of how Democratic Party and Republican Party distinct with each other on factors of social. It is important because it actually tells the uniqueness of each party, it also shows us the ideology of the two parties and the possible confrontation, which will help us to understand the project. It helps our project in two ways. First, it helps readers clearly understand the difference between the two parties, and it helps readers know which party they should choose in future elections. Second, this information is closely related to our subsequent project analysis. Knowing this information in advance can deepen readers' understanding and reduce their difficulty in reading the analysis part of the project.

What does this mean for the nation’s political-economic divide?”.Bea.gov.https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2020/11/09/biden-voting-counties-equal-70-of-americas-economy-what-does-this-mean-for-the-nations-political-economic-divide/amp/.

This resource is used to give information on what it means for the nation's political-economic divide as Biden-voting counties equal 70% of America’s economy. This resource is important because it shows a table of candidates’ counties won and share of GDP in 2016 and 2020. This resource is important to our group project because it will focus on the counties between a certain period of years that will demonstrate who won in each election.

This resource is used to analyze GDP (gross domestic product). This resource is important because the table shows the real gross domestic product by county between the years 2018-2021. This resource is going to specifically aid our project to understand how people vote, according to the value of services and good measures in each county from every state.

Woolley, John, and Peters Gerhard. “The American Presidency Project.” UC Santa Barbara,

This resource is used for making comparisons between democratic and republican parties. This resource is important because it will demonstrate an authoritative and non-partisan online network that provides resources for presidential public documents. It will contribute to our project as it will give us more information showing election outcomes by states which will help us know the years from the past to the present of which political party resulted more from each election.

This set of data shows the 2016 election data in each county, it includes voting rate in population, each party’s popular voting rate, etc. The important point of this set of data is that it includes the election situation by county, which will help us to analyze the distribution of election results in a more detailed way. We will use this set of data to analyze the voting tendency of different regions. At the same time, we will use this set of data to create a visual map, so that readers can more clearly feel the preference of people in different regions for the party, which will make readers curious about these regional differences, so as to deepen their understanding of the project reading.

The source is house price level data from zillowstatic website that records the house price level in each county. The important point of this data is that it is not rigorous to determine class only by GDP per capita, so we need this set of data to cooperate with our analysis. We used local house price levels to compare the voting preferences of different places to analyze the topic of our study. At the same time, this data can help us create visualization charts to provide readers with a clearer comparison.
