I think it's a much more difficult task, that probably couldn't be performed by one person alone. The problem that such an effort would invariably suffer from, is that a large block of constituents might not agree with the affiliations, whatever they might be. It's tough to disagree with Nate Silver's predictions when he is demonstrably correct, however there would be no way to validate these affiliations. Maybe an open-source software that just made assignments based on the data would work.
