Votes can be attached to the wrong member #1418

Closed mlandauer closed 1 year ago

mlandauer commented 2 years ago

This has happened with Julia Bank on votes that happened in December 2018.

This happened because Julia Banks became an independent after being a member of the liberal party. We continued to import votes after she changed party and attached them to the old member. Only a while later did we update her record for members so from that point on her new votes were attached to the new member as an independent. The effect of this is some of the whip calculations might be wrong for a few days.

I think we can fix this by creating a new rake task which check the members on all the votes. If we make this fast enough we can run this every day before all the other cache updates.

This would magically fix the problem when it will inevitably occur again in future
