Federal Election Commission Publishes 2010 Election Returns for Both Houses of Congress

The Federal Election Commission has published Federal Elections 2010, a 150-page paperback book that contains election returns for both Houses of Congress, from the November 2010 election. The book includes primary election returns as well as general election returns, and is available free to anyone who requests it. The FEC’s phone number is 800-424-9530.

The book generally lists write-in votes, but lists no such votes for Pennsylvania. Although Pennsylvania election officials did tally the number of write-ins cast, it did so months after the official tally for the candidates listed on the ballot. Furthermore, Pennsylvania election officials didn’t post the write-in totals on the state election office’s web page, so virtually no one knows about the tally.

  1. I received my copy a few days ago, looked through it for a bit and did notice one HUGE mistake. I believe it’s the PA-1 race that had only 1 candidate, yet they show the candidate only received 70-something percent of the vote.

  2. #1, Good catch. There was only one person on the ballot in the Pa. US House district one race, so it seems the error in the book is with the percentage. It should be 100% (setting aside the problem I already mentioned that the book omits the write-ins; if they were there the percentage would be a little less than 100%).

    These books typically have a few factual errors.

  3. What century will the Feds have WARTIME type requirements that the MORON State regimes publish the FINAL stats BEFORE each Congress takes office in Jan. — merely in defense of having some sort of REAL Democracy appearance.

    Nov — a mere 10 plus months after the Congress took office.

    i.e. The Fed election stats should/must be H. Doc. 1 of each New Congress – i.e. a MAJOR priority in getting published on time.

    Part of the FEC stats problem is having the primary and general stats next to each other.

    Major mind fatigue in putting the stats on a spreadsheet in the correct locations — since the MORON Congress does NOT require the MORON States to have uniform vote reporting systems — i.e. the FEC folks have to slog thru the 50 State/DC different stat systems – primaries, runoff primaries, generals and even runoff generals.


    Inform the FEC of any errors.
    They can be easily corrected on the FEC spreadsheets.
    See the Federal Elections, NNNN series from 1996 onward.

    LOTS of EVIL minority rule gerrymander stats for the entire world/universe to see.

  4. Are the write-in votes for the South Carolina US Senate election listed? I’m interested to learn how the write-ins were distributed in that race.
