2017-18 State/Federal Special Election Results & Swings (UPDATED)

[Sorenroy]

Awesome job Griffin! By the way, it looks like "Congressional:" and "State Legislative" are making the "Type" column much bigger than it needs to be while forcing other columns into spaces that are clearly too small ("Runoff" for the state legislative races, for example). If you removed them from the charts themselves it might ease up on the space.

Alternatively, I have seen several threads that were much wider than most. Even though I'm pretty sure it's an error, it could be helpful for making a better chart.

(Also, the first two comments are both yours. You don't have to worry about the character limit for a while.)

I red on Reddit that Dems were able to win one of the ones in NH for the first time in a long time. Also, one of the NY ones.

Also, just noticing now, why did the Democrat drop out of the race in LA-92?

By the way, I used the combined numbers for each candidate. Apparently Christine Pellegrino appeared as a "DEM" and "WOR", while Thomas A. Gargiulo appeared as a "REP", "CON", and "IND". I don't know enough about NY voting to know how that worked out on the ballots.

AL:

Apparently, because no other candidates ran, the winner of the Democratic primary, Rolanda Hollis, has already won the seat.

It does not look like the NH SOS has their results up yet.

Couldn't wait, hope this helps! I'll do more if I can. Not sure how you are doing swings. When I went up to see, I noticed that your swing for DE-11 is off. Also, I'm working off the assumption that "'16 P Mar" means 2016 Presidential Margin.
