Two reference publications that have official election returns for the 2016 elections are expected from the printer in November 2017. The Federal Election Commission always publishes a book of election returns, for federal office, after each congressional election. The next version will be called Federal Elections 2016 and the FEC expects to have it ready next month. The book is free and includes primaries as well as the general election.
Congressional Quarterly expects to publish America Votes 32, also in November. Each volume of America Votes has the general election vote for gubernatorial, presidential, and U.S. Senate races, by county, at least for the major parties. Other parts of the book include the total vote for all candidates who were on the ballot, along with declared write-in candidates if the state tallied them. The book includes primaries as well. This series of books, published every two years, has been appearing ever since 1956. Many public libraries carry them as reference books.
LOTS of minority rule gerrymander stats — ie — OLIGARCHY rule math —
along with the extremist primary stats (esp if NO incumbent).
1/2 or less votes x 1/2 gerrymander areas = 1/4 or less CONTROL.
Math too complex for armies of MORON lawyers and worse courts – esp SCOTUS.
PR and AppV.
Minor/major point — the FEC item is NOT *free*
— USA taxpayers paying $$$ for the now zillion hours to collect the stats and put them in spreadsheets, pdfs and on paper.
Taking longer to make and more costs due to more and more NO chance ego candidates – esp write-ins.
The USA stats should be in USA H. Reps. Doc. O-N-E in Jan. after each Nov. election day.
Are not since the gerrymander Congress is paralyzed about basic stuff — since 1789.

down about 1/3 for Fed. Elections, NNNN — since 1982.
NOT 2016 yet.
Please let us know when the FEC book is available.
