Parse Hood River County results #104

Closed dwillis closed 4 years ago

Election results are stored in PDFs (both electronic and image) ordered by precinct.

The 2008 general PDF is so mangled it's not easily possible to tell which candidates ran for which offices. I've emailed to the county clerk to request the data in a usable format.

@nk9 Yeah, that's a fun one. Thanks for your efforts.

Thanks for creating such a diverting and entertaining project!

Q: Page 13 of the 2008 primary PDF contains all the write-in candidates for GOP Attorney General. Should I list every name there in the results csv? I haven't seen the actual write-in names included in any other results so far.

Thanks for helping! The answer is no, you don't have to itemize the write-in votes; aggregates by precinct are fine.

I added the 2008 primary and 2006 general yesterday.

I've gotten the 2008 general results from the clerk. See my pull request. One last file and this will be complete…

I requested the 4 missing primary elections and they sent them to me. Uploaded here. Even better, they are real PDFs, not scans. So Tabula is going to work with no OCR scannos. We can add these to the checklist now.
