🔍 Key feature: for the 2025 election, we've created our own crosswalks to handle municipality mergers and splits over time.

📈 This update allows for consistent longitudinal analysis of voting patterns, accounting for administrative boundary changes over the past 35 years.

3️⃣ Harmonized data: Two versions available:

- 2021 borders: All elections (1990-2025) mapped to 2021 municipality boundaries

- 2025 borders: All elections (1990-2025) mapped to 2025 municipality boundaries

1️⃣ Raw data: Original election results at municipality level from 1980-2025, including all parties, voter counts, and mail-in voting information.

2️⃣ Unharmonized data: Cleaned and standardized raw data with consistent variable names and formats, ready for analysis. (1980-2025)

Yes, it bothers me so much! The experts commenting during the games are fine (although Steffen Freund is cancelled in Germany) but the halftime „expert“ duo is very incompetent…
