Where do I find US election results sorted by congressional district?

Is there any place where results for the recent US election are available, sorted by congressional district? This site doesn't seem to have them yet...anywhere else?
I think he was looking for presidential results by congressional district.
A while back, I experimented with aggregating raw data from various secretaries of state websites, but found that in some cases congressional districts split among single voting precincts.

Response by poster: Yeah, I'm looking for presidential results by congressional district, and yeah, I could have phrased that question much more clearly.
I ran into the same thing that PrinceValium did -- congressional district lines don't follow county lines or anything that easy, and the granularity goes right down to the precinct level.
(I'm basically thinking about proportional voting, and wondering how the election would have shaken out if every state had followed Maine and Nebraska's rules regarding proportional allocation of electoral votes.)

I found lots of county by county charts, but none by congressional districts.
Vidiot, I think you should figure it out - it should only take a week or so - because I would love to see the result of hypothetical proportional voting.
