State Election Results Tracker -- 3

I need a secure, real-time platform that pulls, processes, and displays state-level election results as the votes come in. The core requirement is live vote counting with second-by-second updates—candidates’ totals, precinct-level breakdowns, and automatic percentage calculations must refresh without users having to reload the page.

Architecture is entirely up to you as long as it is web-based, scalable, and can ingest data feeds from the state’s official results API (JSON and CSV streams will be provided). A lightweight admin panel should let authorised staff open or close the counting window, verify incoming data, and trigger manual recount flags.

For front-end display I expect a responsive dashboard that works smoothly on mobile and desktop, built in React, Vue, or a similarly modern framework. The interface should highlight key races, show live totals, and colour-code leading candidates. If you have experience layering in extras such as historical election data or interactive maps, mention it—I may add those modules after the main tracker goes live.

Deliverables
• Backend service for ingesting and validating live vote data
• Real-time database or in-memory store (PostgreSQL, Redis, or comparable)
• Public-facing results dashboard with auto-refresh
• Admin panel for data control and audit logging
• Clear deployment instructions (Docker or equivalent) and short hand-off call

I will test the build on a staging server during a mock data feed; acceptance hinges on latency under two seconds per update and 100 % accuracy against the official tally.
