Should the US have a federal election results page/commission ?

[Tender Branson]

Obviously yes.

All the work DAVE is doing to present a national result is to be appreciated, but it's about damn time that the US sets up a national results page and a national federal election commission which is manned with people from the GOP, Democrats, Greens, Libertarians etc.

The US is home of Microsoft, Goodle, Apple etc. and in the year 2017 has not managed to set up a nationwide results page in which states submit their final results and turnout !

I find this pretty hilarious. We have to check each state's election pages for final results and turnout and the election pages of CNN, MSNBC stop updating results the day after election - making them useless.

What do you think ?

God bless Atlas, but there's too many conflicts between it, the Green Papers, and other elections sites. That's largely due to how much of a mess our election results are. For example, some CA counties give the total of unrecognized write ins and others don't. That alone makes calculating percentages a nightmare (Nevermind the fact that somehow Mariposa County didn't have any certified write in votes either).

Even if there was a single federal website that all states, etc. had to report their national results (Prez, Sen, HoR) to, that would be a vast improvement over what we have now.

The FEC does report official results, as listed here:

That's good to know. Thanks for sharing!
