The bulk of your files probably contain a nearly identical file format. These are probably the precinct results files.

You would have to manually look-up and tabulate the results for the candidates you are interested in to get the race results.

While largely a trivial exercise by computer, this would be tedious as hell to do by hand and only marginally better if you use a spreadsheet to hold the intermediate results and do the final tally.

Be sure you REALLY want to do this before getting started.

thanks. I get it.
I just got curious when I saw Alaska provided their data.
Being retired with rain killing golf, and time on my hands, I thought, what the heck, lets take a look

Since somebody (decision desk) called the race a couple of days ago for the repub - with 4 precincts not reported - the last precinct didn’t report until 11/15/2024, I was wondering maybe somebody already did what I was looking to do ?

To me, it looked liked decision desk didn’t take into account the Ranked Vote Choice factor. Based on 1st choice, Begich wins. Ranked Choice rounds ? who knows.
Almost everybody else took decision desk’s call on this race and went with it.

Me ? I remember Ranked Choice Voting got Sarah Palin whacked when everything said she should win it. The Repubs ran two in that race, fracturing the vote. I thought Sarah would get most of the rounds vote from the other repub...didn’t happen.

With 2 days left for the final results ? I wont be doing it.

Thanks again.
