This should be done a pull request so I can review the work. This needs to follow the task-based format of this repo.

Key questions

  1. Why is he getting a significant sorting effect in elections? It could be a composition-based effect from merging general and runoff elections. If the composition selectively removes general elections when a runoff exists, you have a mechanism for inducing a significant discontinuity.
  2. Is it possible to merge contracting data with the menu data? If so, how?
