Random Maps of Wake County Demographics

I've been playing around a lot with mapping data recently. Here are some maps that represent voters in Wake County, North Carolina. Each map represents a sample of 35000 voters collected from the North Carolina State Board of Elections in October 2013. Each dot is a single voter and their residential location.

My data was collected from the following sources:

Voter registration information from the NC Board of Elections: ftp://www.app.sboe.state.nc.us/

Mapping shapefiles from Wake county: http://www.wakegov.com/gis/services/pages/data.aspx

and NC DENR: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/lr/geodetic/official-boundaries

Geocoding the addresses was done by Texas A&M's Geoservices: http://geoservices.tamu.edu/

My father’s ALS condition was fast deteriorating before he started on the ALS Herbal medicine treatment from Ultimate Life Clinic. He was on the treatment for just 6 months and we never thought my father will recover so soon. He has gained some weight in the past months and he is able to walk with no support. You can reach them through there website www.ultimatelifeclinic.com; June 17, 2021 at 7:10 PM
