Hi HN!<p>I made a presidential polling website with real-time electoral results. It requires semi-live participation and votes can be changed at any time. Only visitors from the USA can participate. Congressional district is determined by IP address.<p>The idea is to enable a coordinated voting process, where selections are non-binding and negotiable rather than blindly cast once. Kind of like a presidential caucus, but national and over the Internet.<p>The infra is Fastly &amp; DigitalOcean. Backend is a Django service running on DO App Platform with Postgres. Fastly is used for edge logic, captcha, and pushing updates to the page (Fanout). In theory it should be able to handle millions of participants.

The current vote percentages at your site, Harris&#x2F;Trump&#x2F;Stein 63&#x2F;18&#x2F;18, suggests that your sample so far is quite unrepresentative. Is there a reason to expect that to change?
