[OSGeo-Discuss] us election data

[Cameron Shorter]

Karsten,
I suggest that if you do collect a national rollup of the data and make it
open, it would be a very widely used dataset.
And if doing so, I suggest documenting how you go about it, including links
to sources and any post processing scripts you use for:
1. Others to follow you
2. Quote your sources
3. Receive feedback and corrections
This might even be worthy of an open source project in itself.
