I've published a couple of diaries (well, maybe more than a couple) on total vote counts for Obama and McCain as well as overall turnout. While the Secretary of State websites are pretty good for an overall summary, most of them leave off the "total ballots cast" and only report votes for the major candidates and anyone else on the ballot, and sometimes the write-in candidates.
I've spent a lot of time going to individual county websites to find more detailed information, but as you can imagine, trying to find county websites for thousands of counties is pretty time consuming (especially in some of the New England states where it's tough to tell whether to get data from town or county, and in neither case do the sites generally have any information).
So I'm asking for help if you have 5 or 10 minutes to do some google searchs. Generally what I do is go to google and type in something like "Los Angeles county California", and generally within a couple of links you can find election results. I'd be happy to post a list of counties by state, and if you have some time to do some searching and can post a link to results (or better yet, the link prior to results so it can be used for future searches as well), I would greatly appreciate it and I can update my vote counts more quickly.
I'll start here with the Alabama counties and total votes. I recognize for counties with less than a couple of thousand votes, you may not find even a county website, let alone one with election results, but it's probably worth checking just in case. Not sure how to make this organized enough for people not to do duplicative work, so maybe if you're willing to help, post a list of counties you'll check and people can check comments to see what is already done?
I'll be happy to share the complete list once it's compiled if people want it. My email address is in my profile.
