Help Sunlight Labs gather the numbers on how well our nation's legislators did in their last elections. The answers are scattered over 50 different state websites, so we'll point you to the right one and let you dig it up.

We're looking for the win percentage, vote totals, and the year of their last election. We'll be publishing the data in its raw form, and using it in a couple of places, including Congrelate and some upcoming work.

Thanks to websites like TweetCongress, and technical services like the Sunlight Labs API, it's become easier than ever to follow your federal representatives and elected officials on Twitter, and keep the lines of dialogue open.

Finding state-level elected officials, however, is not so easy. There's really no comprehensive website or map to find it, and we'd like to change that.

To help us, we're asking you to use your Internet search-fu skills to track down who among your state officials is on Twitter, and what their usernames are. Don't know who your state officials are? No problem, you tell us your zip code, and we'll tell you who to look for.
