I’m wondering if anyone has found (free) sources of data to use for live elections results, specifically the Presidential race? I’ve been building a map of poll results but would also like to put something together to watch the race tomorrow night.
In my state (Vermont), the Secretary of State has an rss feed that basically presents the results as an xml file. I’m using that to make some local results spreadsheets. Could be other states have similar things.
