OurCampaigns

Anyone know whether it will be back online again? It's a very useful site.

[Miles]

Yeah, its a shame. They're apparently trying to restart it, but there's been no timeframe.

[Dr. Cynic]

It won't be back.

I think I'm fairly done with that nonsense. I was there from 2006 or so on and it was fun and all, but I'm done worrying about Randy's behavior.

[Del Tachi]

What was this?  I've never heard of it before

What was this?  I've never heard of it before

It was a political site that focused on race results and data. It was a very good source to find results to pretty much any race you could think of.

It had more election data than this site.  Even county-by-county Congressional races were available when applicable.  Shame to see it die.

[Hifly]

Ourcampaigns is quite literally the most awesome electoral site out there. I will be so upset if it's gone.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

I recently joined OurCampaigns, and I have no idea what's been going on there recently.  I'd hate it if it disappeared for good.

For those not aware, imagine Inks at his Nixonian worst but on crack... and imagine that said person owned the site and continues to own the domain name...

Really, then.

It's a shame Dave can't buy the rights to it.

That website's horrific layout always kept me away.

That website's horrific layout always kept me away.

Yeah but let's be honest though... https://uselectionatlas.org/

[Thomas D]

That's sad. I used that site to find out when was the last time a Republican was elected Comptroller of Maryland. (1897)

Why do you hate 1998

[Phony Moderate]

It appears to be back online.

The Atlas is millions of times more user friendly than OurCampaigns. I couldn't find anything except through Google searches.

[Dr. Cynic]

It's back, but no one can make contributions to it. Rather pointless then if Randy doesn't bother to care about a race.

[Vega]

Do they have a forum? I haven't been on OurCampaigns in years, all I remember is that they have tons of election results.

No, but comments are permitted on pretty much every page.

[RogueBeaver]

Yeah, there's a bunch of US and foreign stuff that's still screwy. Happy it's back though.

[RBH]

In a way, it's "back". But it's kind of an elephant graveyard.

The sheer amount of foolishness involved in how the site got yanked and is back up due to some sort of boredom from a certain person. And the database on OC now isn't even the database that existed when the site went down in June, so there's a bunch of 2014 stuff that isn't on there because it wasn't part of the site in April 2013.

Less said about some things with some people, the better. Some people matter less when you won't talk about them.

The database going to June 2014 is still around and will be part of a (still under-construction) http://www.electionsinfo.net/ The EI site is under coding construction at the moment since the current OC coding can't be taken over there due to wishes (back when it seemed like the OC site wouldn't be back in any form). At the risk of sounding like Walter White, the database that will be on EI should be deeper and better than the OC database. Hopefully the formatting and layout will be seen as better too. Anyways, EI will be around soonish, I don't know when, but this isn't exactly a no-deadline sort of thing from what i've heard.

Here's a template of a results page on EI: http://electionsinfo.net/elections23.php?electionID=491714 (the white text are things left to be done in assembling the page). So there's databases that are ready and some to be done.

But at least I can yoink the county results from an OC page with a map, do a few things in Notepad++, and get it in Election Atlas format to be posted on here.

[Vega]

There is so much info on there from elections that are hard to track down; that's what I use it for. I don't know why anyone would use it for 2014 stuff when there are so many better sources available.
