Lastly, I need to edit the file, so I remove all the unwanted precincts.  I know you guys said earlier to export data, but I don't see how that will allow me to edit the content. Any suggestions? If I can extract it to an excel based file it would be perfect. ... View more

How do I export it so I can edit on excel? Or what's the best way to edit the joined file?

Hi Sephe and Sol, I gather the precinct election results from this website: Precinct Maps by District. When I download and open the file, it does not have any FIPS column or anything of that sort.  However, It does sort the precinct by number. Will that be enough?  I appreciate your help.  Thanks. ...
