Counting areas #33

I noticed that my local council has published the vote counts for the Horsham "counting area" on their website. Could we include those? What structure should be used? See http://www.horsham.gov.uk/files/EuropeanHorshamLocalResult-220514.pdf

The Euro votes are counted by each local authority and then aggregated by the regional returning officers. So if you want to crowdsource a dataset for every LA (~433 of them) you could.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with @adrianshort here. I think it would be interesting to see the split by counting area, but would be far more labour-intensive to gather the results.
