Canadian Elections Forecast

This application has a folder to run Python scripts to download data from the Canadian Federal Elections website: https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=ele&dir=pas&document=index&lang=e for the past federal general elections. This data can then be loaded into a PostgreSQL database Next, this can be loaded by a VUE Single Page App which uses the D3 graphical visualization library to display it in a useful format, and allow the users to make seat predictions based on overall polling results. There are also machine learning algorithms run on the data in Python
