Election results in the Repo

[jaspajjr]

Excellent work with the election everyone.

Quick question, I saw the results of the election shared through email channels. Are you also looking to share and store the results of the election in this repo for posterity?

Thanks for opening your first issue here! Be sure to follow the issue template!

I also want to second John's request to release the vote tallies (it was previously mentioned that OpaVote supports election data export via the BLT format

[pavithraes]

Thanks for your requests!

The final weighted tally was included in this announcement (as plots): #85

Additionally, yes, we'll document some granular details about the vote counts and weights, including the scripts & formulas used. @ivanov - Sure, we can include the OpaVote results as well, with the caveat that those results are unweighted. The weighting was done separately because OpaVote did not support the weighting format we wanted.

Thanks @pavithraes! That'll be great, as it will allow for independent verification of the results, and reduce the burden on the election committee to catch possible bugs in the weighting code, for example.
