How do I go about adding elections?

« on: July 31, 2017, 11:29:15 AM »

For example, I wanted to add Washington 200 referendum of '98, but I'm confused on what I do with the spreadsheet and what to do afterwards. If anyone can help, I'd be thankful for it.

Great question. I've been confused about this for a long time.

Not giving a comprehensive explanation right now but you have to convert the spreadsheet (save an extra copy first!) into a raw text document and make sure you delete any columns that have any extra spaces in them.

See this: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=51176.msg1087503#msg1087503

There are many tiny little steps to it (that I always forget in between rounds of adding data, which tends to be pretty long periods of time), but if you get something wrong, generally the upload script will give you an error that is self-explanatory enough that you can correct.

Oh I haven't found the time to do anything with this yet, but I do plan to do it asap.
