Dear Randy,
If you go to the geography links within the Census, you can select
"congressional district" under geographic type, click on each state one by
one, click "Add" to add the districts, which refreshes the site until you
have all of them, and then download them. I hope this link works:
http://factfinder.census.gov/servlet/QTGeoSearchByListServlet?ds_name=DEC_20
00_109S&_lang=en&_ts=191863347171
This will download, to my knowledge, shapefiles, along with their 3
associated files, but if you just need the Excel files, you can just open
the .dbf file associated with the file you download.
I do not know if the return data is included in these files.

Subject: [POLMETH] 2006 district level census data
Hello all,
The census bureau puts out data by congressional district
(link<http://www.census.gov/Press-Release/www/2007/110th.html>)
but it looks like it's spread out across states and several files within
each state. I wanted to do a quick project on 2006 returns, and wondered if
anyone has put together any of this data for public consumption.
Thanks.
Andy Eggers
