Convert 2004 Election Results
ATLJoeReed opened this issue · comments
Use the openelections.net Metadata API to extract the URL's for all election results in 2004.

Create individual CSV files for each special, primary & general election date (which may involve multiple races) using the file name conventions. The CSV files should have the following headers: county, office, district, party, candidate, votes. For offices, follow our naming conventions. See the completed years for an example of what your output needs to be.
Some of these election files have overall results on the first page (with full candidate names) and county-specific results on interior pages, so we'll need both for our CSVs - the first page for candidate names and the interior ones for county-specific vote totals.
Starting to work on this issue.
I will be finishing up this issue this weekend.
Update - I have all the main results in. Just need to look at the general election write-in and figure out a good way to consume them. Thinking Pandas...
