I just attempted to submit election results (specifically for the 2016 Democratic presidential primary in Indiana by congressional district) via this link, which I think is the right one to use: https: //uselectionatlas. org/SCRIPTS/election_upload.php (delete spaces, I can't post links yet)
But I was unsuccessful because it said I hadn't entered enough data. What exactly is missing that I would need to add is unclear. What is clear is that there are many very frustrating things about this interface, including:
*There is no option for "president of the United States". You can choose a senate or governor race but, insanely, the MOST prominent and powerful office in politics in this country is NOT available, necessitating selecting "referendum 8" or some bullsh**t and then typing in "President of the United States" as the "name of the referendum".
*When entering candidates' names in the form you only have one option per party affiliation (one Dem, one Rep, one independent), EVEN IF YOU SPECIFICALLY SELECTED PRIMARY, meaning that by definition there are multiple candidates of the same party, you have to awkwardly shoehorn in the second such candidate under an incorrect affiliation.
