title: How to return query results from method that uses LINQ to SQL
body: <p>Here is the code I'm working with, I'm still a bit new to LINQ, so this is a work in progress.  Specifically, I'd like to get my results from this query (about 7 columns of strings, ints, and datetime), and return them to the method that called the method containing this LINQ to SQL query.  A simple code example would be super helpful.</p>
  
  <pre><code>using (ormDataContext context = new ormDataContext(connStr))
  {
      var electionInfo = from t1 in context.elections
                 join t2 in context.election_status
                 on t1.statusID equals t2.statusID
                 select new { t1, t2 };
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>(In this case, my query is returning all the contents of 2 tables, election and election_status.)</p>
