Damn, my county records are a mess, gonna be very difficult to read them, IF they ever download. I could not find it in PDF, my computer says it is 'starting' the 'save' but I don't think I'm gonna be successful.
Nothing is arranged in orderly fashion, walls and walls of text and numbers, you can read it but deciphering it will be a lifelong project.
That might be exactly it! A CVS type file is one that is all txt. Each column is separated by commas (most of the time). It can be used easily in databases.
Email that to [email protected] and ask them if this is the format they wanted.
CVS is easy enough to parse. It gets a bit harder if it's .json file. You can find readers for it, but then parsing through the structures is a pain in the butt.
I had to do this when analyzing the election data myself for the 2020 election.
The data mangling part is my least favorite. It was the statistical analysis that was interesting. That showed that fraud was rampant in the swing states.

Anyone know how to download this stuff?

You sound like an amazing resource for experience on how to do this for others who have questions about finding fraud in their own precincts!
