Elections and the Race

civicAPI tallies

Unofficial live election results feed used by Live map mode.

What this means

Live Race map mode can read civicAPI tallies for the current cycle as an unofficial overlay for browsing on this site. The Ledger does not redistribute those tallies as a public API—call civicAPI (or state election authorities) directly for programmatic use. Prefer certified archive sources for final published numbers.
