This may be state-specific, bake-specific data. How would you like to organize this?

My inclination is to document the fields that aren't state-specific on docs.openelections.net and then have any state-specific stuff in state results repositories.

That makes sense.

After skimming through the docs, the most-likely-looking place to add this is https://github.com/openelections/docs/blob/master/dataentry.md#instructions, but that's not likely to be someplace where people who are using your data will look for descriptions of the column headers. Is there a better place?

After looking at Florida and Arizona, these columns seem common:

updated_at
id
start_date
end_date
election_type
result_type
special
office
district
name_raw
last_name
first_name
suffix
middle_name
party
jurisdiction
division
votes
votes_type
total_votes
winner
write_in
year

I think this would be its own section on the docs site, maybe called "Results" with a subsection called "Common Fields"?

How do you want to handle writing definitions for http://docs.openelections.net/common-fields/ ?
