"Thanks but I was hoping for sources that were machine readable"

I agree: Now that I have a strategy for data reduction, I may be able to do a HTML <TABLE>; conversion to CSV, (spreadsheet) -- which is what I'd prefer for analysis & plotting purpses... ('Most every FReeper has a spreadsheet...)

There are a lot of screen scraping strategies but I was hoping there were plenty of raw data feeds and REST API’s for this stuff. The AP and NYT get this stuff from somewhere. I expect public data to be publicly available.

I”m rather appalled there is no open data project like https://data.gov for states and local jurisdictions voting results.
