Task List

It took me about two hours to correctly call the API with data from the form, and then an additional hour to parse and display the results in a nice format.

Required

• Stub out pages (Home/form and results)
• Confirm initial API call
• Wire up form to the API call <== ~ 2 hours of work (total)
• Parse results
• Format results nicely for display <== ~ 3 hours of work (total)

Stretch goals

• Validate form input
• Add input tests
• Add friendly error messages
• Display or link to results on Google Maps (maybe a link to show in Maps)

Issues

• Empty form hangs the page (fix with form validation)
• Update Election Results template to not display items that don't have values (ex. no website for Pinehurst)
