Looks like a interesting but difficult project. From the article:<p>&gt; <i>The question then is to what extent the content of Twitter is representative of voting behaviour and how accurately we can predict the results of an election with Twitter data.</i><p>Some demographics (young? city?) are overrepresented than others (old? farms?). In some cases, it&#x27;s cool to vote publically for a party, so the people is more eager to say it publically or directly lie in the tweets. In other cases, people is afraid to say publically that they will vote for a party ...<p>I think you will need many magical constants that are not available until you have 3 or 4 previous elections to fit the data.<p>Can you make a prediction for each province &#x2F; state?<p>Good look, and post the progress and predictions <i>before</i> the election, and a post-mortem analysis after.
