# above is what we achieved on Wednesday
# at this point, I seem to have a list of dictionary of data
# Here are the items I need: first name, last name, state, percentage of against votes, party.
# So these are the steps I need to do:
# 1, get the items; 2, divide the data into two groups by party; 3, sort data in each group based on the percentage of against votes; 4, print the result.
