First-time poster, long-time Atlas fan here. I just wanted to let my fellow election junkies know about a "crowdsourcing" group project we're undertaking at the Swing State Project, a blog devoted to downballot elections: we're busy trying to assemble presidential results by Congressional district, across the entire country.

As you may know, only a few states make this information directly available. For most states, it's necessary to break down county- and typically precinct-level results to come up with by-CD numbers. So there's a lot of work involved - but with a collaborative effort, we can make it happen.

Anyhow, you can see the first fruits of our labors here:

So far, we have data for a little over 100 districts, and we're working on more as we speak. If you'd like to get involved, take a look at our master spreadsheet here:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pRel6Mvd0g072wmxzYC1xEA&pli=1

You can see which states still need data sources, and which states still need number crunching. You can jump right in with spreadsheets of your own - just upload them to Google Docs and put links in the right places.

We hope folks find this useful, and we look forward to having new people join us!

Awesome work David!

Welcome to the forum!!!

The following thread has a link to precinct results for Washington State including results you are seeking for missing precinct data:

https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=76921.630

There is also a project to enter precinct data into the Atlas database and there may be overlap between datasets you have generated, and data already existing for Atlas subscribers....

I'm sure somebody posted the Nebraska CD results here - or at the very least  the NE-02 results.

There is indeed precinct-level work going on at SSP. If you check out our main database:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pRel6Mvd0g072wmxzYC1xEA&pli=1

And follow the links in the far-right column, you'll see where people have used precinct-level data to crunch by-CD results. Some examples include FL, AZ, IL, HI and RI.

I'd be grateful if you could point me to the precinct-level data that's been assembled here. Thanks so much!

You need a site membership to access precinct data....
