curl -s https://multco.us/elections/november-2014-general-election-results  |  ruby -e 'STDIN.readlines.each {|line| puts line if /<pre>/ =~ line .. /<\/pre>/ =~ line }'

Here's how one could filter the results further and just look at some of the Measures, for example:

→ curl -s https://multco.us/elections/november-2014-general-election-results  | ruby -e 'pre=false; STDIN.readlines.each {|line| if /<pre>/ =~ line; pre=true; end; if /<\/pre>/ =~ line; pre=false; end; puts line if pre  }' | grep -A 3 -e 'Measure [89][678901]'
