I'm in the first stages of making some PA maps, but I'd like to know how Nordstrand got his data before I go grubbing for recanvass reports county-by-county.

They're all on the county websites:

Ah, that's not what I was wondering about. But thanks anyway.

Nordstrand, when you made that map of PA municipalities for the '08 election, were you able to locate a centralized file of election returns or did you have to go to each individual county?

I have .txt files for all elections from 1992-2008 that can be imported into Excel. I'll have to figure out how to upload it later, as the files are nearly 700MB total.

I made my own Excel file for the 2008 results by municipality for the state that you can download here:

It looks like this:
