Could we append this to the other reporting units, maybe, please?
Here are the headers for that file, which I just found in the docs and want to memorialize here.
=============================
District File - <SP>_dist.txt
=============================
During Presidential Primaries, this file lists the Delegate Districts in an election where
delegates are awarded by district. One record for each district in the state per race
(different races sometimes have different district identifiers).
ra_number ("Race Number" in the delimited results file) - integer
Unique id within state for this race. A "race" describes the contest for
a single office. See Race File.
re_number - integer
Unique id within the state for the district, regardless of district type.
dist_type - string
Type of district, such as CD for congressional district, PL for PLEO, A
L for At Large
dist_number - integer
District number within the district type, e.g.. 4 for Congressional District 4.
dist_name - string
Distict 1, PLEO, At Large, for example.
dist_precincts - integer
Total number of precincts within this district
Might make sense as a ".districts" method tacked on to the PresidentialSummary object
AP says the results can found:
In the /ME and /NE directories, in the _D files, e.g., /ME/flat/ME_D.txt.
And I can't get into those folders. Asking AP.
AP does not give everyone access to these files. They gave them to our account after I asked. So I think any feature to implement this has to be optional.
Glory be,
/inits/US/US_20121106_district.txt
