More congressional election data, part 1

Day 500, 23:32 Published in USA USA by ligtreb

I'm only like 10 days late with this, but I'm a numbers geek in real life, and haven't seen anyone else publish congressional data like this.

We've seen cool maps by party and overall percentages, but i haven't seen a list of incumbents by percentage of votes won in their state, by vote margin and by percent margin, all broken down by the number of candidates in the race.

Today is part 1, vote percentage by state. The other parts will come in the next few days.

For an easier view of all of this, check out this google doc:

Note that this shouldn't be interpreted to mean which candidates did the best and which didn't. There were other factors involved, like the quality of their competitors.

Of course, it's easier to to rack up a high percentage in a 2-candidate race than a 5-candidate race. So, let's break this down by the # of candidates in each state.
