Dataframe containing the results of the 2017 federal elections (Bundestagswahl)

Data presented here has been altered in the sense that it has been rendered more machine-friendly (one header row only, no special characters, no blanks in header line, etc.). Beside that, the data itself has not been changed in any way.#' The columns are structures as follows. For each column AFTER 'parent_district_nr', ie., from column 4 onward, 4 columns build one bundle. In each bundle, column 1 refers to the Erststimme in the present election; column 2 to the Erststimme in the previous election. Column 3 refers to the Zweitstimme of the present election, and column 4 to the Zweitstimme of the previous election. For example, 'CDU_3' refers to the number of Zweitstimmen in the present (2017) elections.#' The long names of the 43 parties at the 2017 federal German elects can be accessed via the dataframe parties_de
