Is there a central database for election results?

I'd like to check up on how my district voted for all the people we had on the ballot. Having no difficulties finding big senate races, but district-specific info is hard to find. Is there a central database of election results I could query? It would be great if some website/app showed me the ballot, and checked off winners and showed breakdown by number of people and percentages.

Your local county clerk or registrar of voters should have the full results. Ballots are usually managed on a county level, and that's where most news sources go to get their results.

For example, Alameda County (Oakland) results are here:

I'd love to see a service that aggregates results from multiple jurisdictions and makes them available via attractive, easy to use website and apps. All of the sites for my local elections were junk: Bad formatting for mobile, Silverlight required, etc. I ended up getting most of the results via Twitter.
