Fwd: Election Data Files

["Aaron Swartz" <xx@aaronsw.com>]

what's your feeling on private companies selling PD data like this? I
notice that these are the people that the US Election Assistance
Commission got their data from
(http://www.eac.gov/clearinghouse/voter-turnout-and-statistics/).
apparently they just collect all the data from the individual
secretary of states offices and resell it. these kinds of middlemen
always get my goat.

Sir --

    Thanks for your inquiry.  Our election return files are nationwide
files that show county level results for Registration, turnout, votes
for President, US Senate, Governor and US House for a given general
election year.  The cost is $950.00 per year, which then is reduced to
$650 upon the purchase of the sixth year and everyone there after.  We
have files going back to 1980.

    I have attached a copy of our standard license agreement, which
needs to be filled out, signed, and faxed back to us to initiate an
order.  Should you have any other questions, feel free to contact me.
We look forward to your order.
