Standardize approach to judicial contests #26

Open frankreporting opened 8 years ago

LAC/SOS are handling Supreme Court justice contests differently.

There's probably no right answer here, but we have to make a choice and stay consistent. I think it's probably a little neater to lump the judicial candidates into larger contests (i.e. Supreme Court, Court of Appeals 1, 2, etc), even though they're not actually competing against each other. On the other hand, it may be more accurate to break them out into separate contests, so it's clearer that these contests are not competitive.

This latter approach requires a little extra refactoring for both SoS and LAC scrapers.

Moved supreme court races in SoS to match others. Need a little more information about the "little extra refactoring for both SoS and LAC scrapers" that is required.
