Thanks again. I also stumbled upon this. http://general-election-2008-data.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/json/votes/2008/. It appears as if there was a Google project with the data. I do not know a web programming language, but I am sure there is an easy way to catch the data and put it into a database.

@Brock: You can get the data from USAToday site : http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/president.htm

just scroll down and select the state name to see its county results in tabular form.

@Brock: Thank you so much. I guess fec.gov should put up the results as soon as all counties report the results officially. I dont know but I guess it should take a few days before the data is compiled and released to public.

Alternatively did you see what nytimes.com has to offer? They have a county level breakup of results and majority figures in visualization form.

First let me say that I love this blog. I have been scouring the Internet and more than likely overlooking the obvious. Can someone lead me to the OFFICIAL source of elections results? I am looking for voter data by county or even town if possible.

The reason I ask is because on Boston.com, they listed the results by town, and have to assume that there is an offical source.

Anyway, any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated!
