I scraped the midterm election results data set from politico. (It's just a bunch of json files.) http://svn.clifford.at/handicraft/2018/usmidterms … See http://collect.py for a simple usage example. Happy hacking!

And I'll also point you to this git repo that contains per-county demographic data and vote totals from previous elections: https://github.com/MEDSL/2018-elections … Both datasets identify counties by FIPS. (You'll need some special handling for Alaska.)

Update: I have now extracted the per-district per-candidate number of votes in all US Senate, US House, and state governor races and put them in much easier to parse files: JSON: http://svn.clifford.at/handicraft/2018/usmidterms/data.json … ASCII: http://svn.clifford.at/handicraft/2018/usmidterms/data.txt … Happy hacking!
