The app ranked #1 on App Store charts (paid News apps category) during the 2008 Election is now back for the 2024 election. It provides you with 2024 Election results and pre-election polls. Whether you're a New Yorker or a Texan, a moderate or independent, or a Kamalanator or MAGA, this application provides a daily snapshot of the 2024 US presidential election at your finger tips, and will provide you with election results. A one-time in-app-purchase option will give you daily poll updates (until November 8), and provide you with election results. On Election Day, November 5, and the early hours of November 6, results will be updated every 10-20 minutes. So, results will not be available instantly, and there will be a 10-20 minute delay. Without the in-app-purchase, the free version will NOT provide election results. It will give you poll results until early October.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: A Better Washington at 5.0 against Election's 3.0. A Better Washington also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). Election's advantage is ratings volume (190 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Election sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. A Better Washington asks for nothing beyond the download.
A Better Washington holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Election has 190 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
