Is there any way, besides going to every state's SoS website (that gets repetitive) to get official results for every house race? Everywhere I look is unofficial, its like they stop updating the day after the election. This would be greatly appreciated!

Dave Wasserman is your friend.

I have every one of them (I went to each Secretary of State website) and can post them if you like in a few days. I posted the aggregate totals already which I'm more interested in.

In the meantime,  Ballotpedia has results posted for all races and most of them are the official results.

I've never heard of Dave Wasserman before. His totals and mine disagree slightly, though not significantly.

His biggest mistake is that he seems to be unaware that Pennsylvania had write in votes.

How come California, Connecticut, and a few others don't have the "final" box checked?

They probably hadn't posted official results when Dave Wasserman put up his doc.  California was late to post official results, though I believe Montana was the last state to post official results.

I'm not sure if all of Wasserman's results are official, but in past cycles, he's done a pretty good job of keeping running totals of each state/CD.

The FEC usually publishes official election results on their website (during the 1st half of 2015):

http://www.fec.gov/general/library.shtml

Scroll down to "Federal Elections (year): Election Results for the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives".

...

Also, the Clerk of the US House publishes official election results on their website (during the 1st half of 2015):

I checked the California SoS to make sure, and yes, they are the exact same as the figures he has. Maybe just forgot to check the box.

Given that my figures are slightly different from his (mine are final and correct) he must have a couple states that aren't the final official results.

I thought initially the differences were a result of him counting the votes the major party candidates received in New York on the minor party lines (fusion voting) for the minor parties, but he didn't do that. I'm not going to look over every district to see where we differ right now, so I don't know what accounts for the differences other than, as I said earlier, he probably didn't add in the write in votes in Pennsylvania (or Oklahoma and whatever that other state is that counts them but doesn't include them in their official totals).

I don't know about the FEC but the Clerk of the US House didn't post total aggregate U.S House election results in 2012.

Oh thanks.  If you check somewhere here: http://clerk.house.gov/ they only have it posted up to 2010.  The 2012 information is in a different place.  It's the exact same thing with the 2014 offical results on the California Secretary of State website.
