I imported all the Voting Districts from the US Census bureau site from the last census. I don't think we know what years they are good for though. The 2008 election is the likeliest bet.

So those could be entered now. If you find spreadsheets or XML docs for them I might be able to write an importer.

To clarify my previous post, I imported all the Voting District MAPS from the US Census Bureau which are probably good for 2008 elections, but unknown which elections before and after that.

So voting district-level election information for 2008 can now be entered if anyone wants to.

Been going through some of the state election results sites and it doesn't look good for importing so far - no good matches for the precinct names or any FIPS codes.
