Consider if citations outside of election law should be included for AO #5969

Closed cnlucas closed 1 month ago

What we’re after

We include citations outside of election law for AO's. We should determine with Policy if these citations should be included.

MUR's and ADR's have citations parsed into separate fields and will only include statutes and regulations of election law. For AO's we parse the entire AO's ocrtext field and look for instances of USC and CFR.

IF we decide to keep the citations we need to do the FE (or maybe proxy??) work so that we can link to other titles.

We had a final decision about this---they decided to keep the citations.
