Please review the attached spreadsheet that lists all the November 4, 2014
candidates and their preliminary election results. I think it's around 98%
complete.<br>
<br>
Final vote totals for some races won't be available until early 2015 due to
things like absentee ballots and write-in counting. At that time, we'll
probably release an updated version. While vote counts often go up, usually the
percentages don't change much for most candidates. Almost all of the election
results numbers are based on figures found online at authoritative election
results sources, not from candidates or others who emailed results to us.
However, people who emailed us results helped us become aware of new candidates
or become aware of candidates that did not make the ballot--so thanks for that.<br>
<br>
There are some code explanations starting at row 770 for those interested in
extra details.<br>
The spreadsheet is pretty complicated. That's because we like to be able to
calculate statistics in various ways, such as "best performance in a 2-way
partisan race, etc." However, most of what you are probably interested in
is column L (the number of votes), column M (percentage the Libertarian
received), and column H (election winners). <br>
<br>
NY & OR, be aware that your fusion candidates are listed on rows 746-765.<br>
We'll be using this data to generate lists and statistics for LP News, the
blogs and other places in the near future.<br>
<br>
If you see anything that needs correcting, please send it to me ASAP. I'll
probably send another list with corrections on Wednesday.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
