Registration bug

[joegillon]

Jurisdiction Farmington City. If I enter a voter's correct details by hand at the mvic website, it works. But when I send the same details to your API I get a 500 server error. But this only happens with correct details. Change the birth month to an incorrect one and you get the false registration json message.

I can provide you with a few voters if you like.

Something I'm seeing in these cases - no map. Maybe your code is assuming there is a map and throwing a 500 when it's not there?

Thanks for reporting this!

I'll look into into this in the next few days.

Sure. As I said, I can provide cases. Sent from my iPadOn Nov 17, 2023, at 2:15 PM, Jace Browning @.> wrote: Thanks for reporting this!

The issue seems to be that the "Am I registered?" page on MVIC does not list a Ward for "Farmington City" but this API has scraped sample ballots with "Ward 1", so there are conflicting precinct records. Do you know if "Farmington City" is actually divided into Wards? have to see how widespread the issue is.

Works for my scrape. Which looks for that data in the hidden inputs rather than what the user sees. Sent from my iPadOn Nov 18, 2023, at 5:28 PM, Jace Browning @.***> wrote: The issue seems to be that the "Am I registered?" page on MVIC does not list a Ward for "Farmington City" but this API has scraped sample ballots with "Ward 1", so there are conflicting precinct records.

I deployed a workaround for the conflicting precinct records. Let me know if the API is working for you again.
