This is a working program that shows election results from the infamous 2000 presidential election involving a lot of Floridians and 'hanging chads'. The program as written reads a text file that includes the candidates on the Nebraska ballot. There is one text file each state, but only Nebraska is accessed in this version.
 
Update/Add to the program:  
 
1. Update the GUI to allow the user to search for any state's data and show it in the JTextArea.

2. Make sure that the program handles all exceptions. You cannot change any of the data in the text files.

3. If a state's data file is corrupted, write to a log file of your own creation. 

4. Update the output to include the name of the state, the state's total vote as well as each candidate's total vote. Make it look good.
