We're trying something new: converting official results from Pennsylvania municipal elections in November 2025. With the assistance of LLMs (both coding & OCR), we've produced county-level results for ALL races for 55 of 67 counties:

A hex map of the United States, titled "Progress of 2024 precinct data." Most states are still colored grey, indicating that our team hasn't yet cleaned and posted their precinct-level election results. 17 states are now bright pink, indicating that we HAVE collected, cleaned, and posted their data! Pink states are: MT, MN, SD, NH, IL, KY, TN, VA, DE, NC, SC, DC, FL, NM, OK, KS, and HI.

If you've been following our precinct-level data closely, you might have noticed some updates last week! We've now added Hawaii, New Mexico, and Kansas to the 2024 dataset. Check out all of our available states on our GitHub: buff.ly/k6S0zTU

Not sure, but with Oregon it might be the case that the hard part is linking precinct names to the actual maps.

There are some states where it might be possible to do this, but we would strongly discourage vibe coding this. It requires substantial domain knowledge.

We have very, very bad news for you about the decentralized nature of election results.

More seriously, there are states and counties that do not post their precinct results online, and those who only post image PDFs, and those who demand payment for them.

Do we know anyone who lives near Karnes County, Texas, and would be willing to go to the county clerk's office in Karnes City, fill out a form and pay $10 in cash for precinct-level election results?

Because that's what they've told us needs to happen.
