I'm liking that example 1 as a way to get familiar with v2. However, I think it has a logical error. At line 44 it lists 2 precincts to go with this ballot style for city mayor and county measure. But that ballot style is only for the downtown precinct. There needs to be another ballot style for the spacetown precinct, with ballot items of city mayor county measure and spaceport control board. At line 294 the comment is similarly inaccurate: the Aldrin Spaceport District also contains spacetown precinct. That is, the heirarchy doesn't include precincts hierarchicially because there is a many-to-many relation between precincts and electoral districts. But I think that this is the only substantial issue with the data. As a usability issue, I recommend that the candidate id have the candidate's last name at the end, and ditto for the candidate selections. write in candidate selections object IDs might include "writein" and ballot measure selection include "yes" or "no". This is purely conventional, but it will make the CVRs more human readable, which will be nice for a lot of people
