eiballots: Ballot-Level Microdata and Summaries for Ecological Inference (Florida 2000)

Provides access to ballot-level electoral microdata from the Florida 2000 general election and tools for computing summaries suitable for ecological inference. Includes functions to load data by county or race (election), compute marginal distributions at the precinct level, and build joint contingency arrays across multiple races for use with ecological inference packages. Data files are stored in a remote repository and downloaded on demand; local copies are supported via the 'data_dir' option. Acknowledgements: We thank Jaime Ventura (ANES, University of Michigan) and Dan Keating (The Washington Post) for providing the raw data that serve as the starting point for the construction of this package. We also acknowledge funding from the Conselleria de Educación, Cultura y Universidades (grant CIACIO/2023/031).
