Quids showing up on maps as “Republican faction” vs. “unaffiliated or other”

[gswain2]

For the most part, this project has placed Quids under the designation “Republican faction.” We have stated this in the map text and all Quid candidates are listed as “Republican Faction” in congressional-candidates-parties.csv. In two congresses (VA9 and MD10), some Quid vote totals have been listed under the “other” party instead of the “repfac” party in congressional-counties-parties.csv. This will create problems when we create the national maps because some states will have Quids represented by orange, and in other states, Quids will be represented by pink/purple.

To be consistent, updates would be needed only in congressional-counties-parties.csv. This would mostly consist of moving the votes and party percentages from the “other” party column to the “repfac” column in these districts:

MD10 District 4 District 5 District 6 District 7 District 8

VA9 District 5 District 10 District 21 **Interestingly, for this same Congress, we have listed Quids as “repfac” in District 15 and District 19, so we would only have to change it in 3 districts to be consistent across the state.

Also, OH10 has a Quid candidate, but is missing the explanatory Quid map text. TO FIX: Add Quid map text from OH11 to OH10.

I updated the Quid data for MD10 and VA9 in congressional-counties-parties.csv and updated the map text for OH10.
