Networks all get their data from 1 of 2 places. Edison research or the AP.
Those two firms put in a lot of effort in collecting the latest data from the various state/county/city websites. All of which report there data differently, and is why everyone seems to have a slightly different total. I’m not sure if AP or Edison provide a free api nor not, but without using them as an aggregator collecting all that data independently is pretty much impossible.
- reco 6y agoLooks like AP does have an api https://developer.ap.org/ap-elections-api/ https://developer.ap.org/ap-elections-api/. But I’m not sure how you can get an api key.
