Election Night Results On the Web!
The Kentucky State Board of Elections has just unveiled a new Web site
that will change the way you look at election results. Chaired by Secretary
of State John Y. Brown III, the Board was looking for an up-to-date,
leading-edge tool to give visitors a more user-friendly view of the
Kentucky election landscape. The Web site they came up with utilizes
the very latest technology including Java and IBM WebSphere.
In the past, getting
to election results was a cumbersome, slow process with a complicated
user interface. Now you simply launch your Web browser, go to the Board
of Elections Web site , click on Visit the Election Night Tally,
and you are instantly presented with a rich, graphical Web site that
is very easy to navigate.
This site offers
a color-coded map that defines each Congressional District and allows
easy access to the election results. Any statewide race can effortlessly
be viewed and votes summarized by county or for the entire state. In
addition
to candidate votes, the user can view the number of registered voters
in the state or in the county, number of counties reporting, and the
number of precincts reporting.
This Web site is a HUGE improvement over the old character-based system
and should result in happier users as a result!
