Update congressional district data for 115th congress #2146

Closed noahmanger closed 7 years ago

noahmanger commented 7 years ago

As originally reported in here, our congressional districts are out of date for some states that have gone through redistricting in the last few years. In order to fix this, we need to update districts.json with fresh data. However, as I just learned, getting this data in the right format is a little tricky.

The current file is 145kb but I'm having trouble getting another topojson file down to that size, so I think I'm just missing something.

The necessary files can be downloaded from here but then need to be processed.
