A visualization constructed using the vega-lite-api.

A program that loads and parses some CSV data from the Reflective Democracy American Sheriffs database.

The data has been cleaned in Excel to fix case discrepancies and remove percentage sign characters.

The visualization shows the count of sheriffs elected categorized by political party affiliation along the X axis. Colors represent racial identity of the elected official.

An overwhelmingly large percentage of Sheriffs are white in all parties, but there are almost no sheriffs from a minority background in the independent or replublican parties.
