Legislative Districting
This recently came across a list serv. I'm wondering if there is a solution in GLM??
Hey all --- I assume all of us track grantees’ state House and Senate district numbers for various purposes, and have to deal with how to keep those numbers updated during redistricting processes when many numbers change. Ohio has various online sites that allow users to manually plug in their address and then return the corresponding district numbers; that’s what folks are directed to use now in completing our materials and identifying what districts they come from. But we’d love to cut out the middleman and just pre-populate their district info (which they often don’t know) when they put in their address (which they do). We’re also concerned that this may become a more frequent issue than every ten years, for various political reasons not worth getting into. We hate to have perpetually out-of-date numbers!
Does anyone have a grants system, a state government portal, or some other trick or workaround that simplifies this process? An API or data source or something? Any great ideas you’ve employed for making this easier or faster or more accurate for users?
