About Election Landscapes
Project
The State Election Landscapes: The Great Lakes States project is a collaborative effort to fill the knowledge gap about the conduct of elections in the six Great Lakes States — Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.
This project, which is reflected in this web site, provides:
- narrative material about the legal setting of elections,
- links to important official information about the conduct of elections, and
- a visualization tool that helps display important statistical information about elections.
Collaborators
The project was overseen by the MIT Election Data and Science Lab, with substantive input from scholars at the Ohio State University, the University of Minnesota, and the University of Wisconsin. The principal collaborators on this project included:
- Barry C. Burden (University of Wisconsin)
- Doug Chapin (University of Minnesota and Fors Marsh Group)
- Steven F. Huefner (Moritz College of Law, The Ohio State University)
- Edward B. Foley (Moritz College of Law, The Ohio State University)
- Charles Stewart III (The Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Support
State Election Landscapes: The Great Lake States was funded through the generosity of the Joyce Foundation, which bears no responsibility for the content of the analysis in this website.
