I could really use help if people can point me to official links where such data can be downloaded, and I will try to get a repo that makes them available in common language neutral formats like json or yaml.

If anyone is a data analyst and wants a particular format let me know.

I have to work to pay bills during week though, so will be a weekend effort. Will probably just start with my own fresh repo.

You might want to ask this freeper if he as access to other databases. The one he posted looks big. A good question to ask is how to do you trap/tap actual data feeds from the SOS of each state. Better yet —how do you find the actual datafeeds at the SOS of each state. what is SOS. State office of...

The following comes from http://freerepublic.com/~kvanbrunt2/

I scraped the data from the NYT website, here [ https://static01.nyt.com/elections-assets/2020/data/api/2020-11-03/race-page/pennsylvania/president.json ] to check for other states, replace “pennsylvania” in the link with the state you want to check, for states that have spaces in their names, like new york, write new-york instead.>>> I don’t think it is wise to use .json files from a newspapers website. It’ is not real voting information. It might prove that the NYT is corrupt and misleading people with counts from states etc. But that is about all it proves. Unless someone is trapping actual data feeds from the SOS of each state then this i just playing.
