Inspect the data in Google sheets (Beta)

These links open election returns online in spreadsheet form.

Basic instructions: To use this feature, you must first log into a Google account. Then click the desired file's link below, and confirm you wish a copy. A Google spreadsheet will open in your browser. In order to inspect the data (eg. re-sorting rows by state or year), manipulate it according to your needs (eg. keeping a subset of the observations only), or saving the file to your hard drive, you must first type CTRL+A (ie., select all) then CTRL+SHIFT+V (ie., paste values only) — this will unlink the data from the repository.

Data updates every hour. If a refresh were needed sooner, erase the function in cell A1 and undo the change.
