Helpful, but too fragmented – WA State Election Results Review

This is a good start, but I hope it will be improved for future elections. The data is very fragmented; you have to constantly drill down to every individual result that you are interested in - and you have to remember exactly what district etc. you are interested in. To be honest, this kept me from using this application very much. Three things would really improve this app in my opinion. First, and I think most importantly: flatten a lot of the data so the user can simply scroll through a list of current totals rather than having to drill down on each race individually. Second, and less important but would be hugely helpful: allow the user to mark "favorites", and present the results of all those (and nothing else) on a special Favorites list, so the user can easily see the races/measures that they are most interested in without the clutter of other items. Third, allow the user to enter their address so that they don't have to go research what ballot items apply to them separately. (Try to look it up their address in their address book first, but allow them to override it so that they can easily look up results for a friend or relative) Then show the corresponding races and measures, allowing the user to easily favorite any or all of the results. (I suggest not automatically adding the results to their favorites, specifically so that they can look at results for friends/family without suddenly having a bunch of favorites that they don't want and now have to go remove, being careful to not remove any that they actually do want.) Another feature that I would love: since a lot of the measure names can be confusing, it would be great if I could indicate my desired result in a given race or measure, and the app would show some icon or something indicating how well (or how poorly) each choice is doing, and perhaps an overview of that info ("13 of 20 items going your way" sort of thing). If this were available before the actual election, I could even use it as a kind of voter's guide, where I note my preferences as I research, then when it comes time to actually vote, I can refer to the app to remind myself of what I chose for each item.
