Iowa Electronic Markets, maintained by the University of Iowa
The Iowa Electronic Market (IEM) has long been a popular Web-site for those interested in politics and election results. The idea is that scholars can predict the outcome of an election when people send in a bit of money, and they wager what they think it will be (they either double their money or lose it all depending on the outcome). These are called "real-money futures markets". The educational point is interesting – you can see what are usually very good predictions since those voting are usually those who know a thing or two and have wagered their own real money, so these votes do not reflect wishful thinking. There are non-US political markets as well: for example, the wagering on which countries would make the European Monetary Union membership.

FECInfo
Campaign finance is a major aspect of elections, especially in the United States. The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is charged with keeping track of all the contributions and expenditures, to the degree that the law requires financial disclosure. This site offers easier access than the FEC's own site.
