Washington datasource

[ghing]

After preprocessing the data (#144), wire it into a datasource.

I found some issues with dates in the database dump and metadata entries. They are:

• Wrong date in database dump for 2000 general election. Dump says 2000-11-04. Should be 2000-11-07
• Missing dashboard entry for 2000-02-29 (presidential) primary
• Wrong date in database dump for 2000 September primary. Dump says 2000-09-01, should be 2000-09-19
• Wrong date in database dump for 2001 general election. Dump says 2001-11-01. Should be 2001-11-06
• Missing dashboard entry for 2001-09-18 September primary
• Missing dashboard entry for 2003-11-04 general
• Missing dashboard entry for 2003-09-16 primary
• Wrong date in database dump for 2004 general election. Dump says 2004-11-09. Should be 2004-11-02
• Wrong date in database dump for 2004 primary election. Dump says 2004-09-21. Should be 2004-09-14.
• Missing dashboard entry for 2004-09-14.
• Missing dashboard entry for 2006-09-19 primary
• Dashboard entry for a 2006 primary is 2006-11-07. 2006-11-07 is the date of the general election.
• Dashboard entry for 2006 general election is 2006-11-06. Should be 2006-11-07.

I'm going to follow up with Summer and her WA state contact about this.

I emailed Nick Pharris, Elections Information Specialist of the Elections Division, Office of the Secretary of State to check about the election date discrepancies. I also emailed Suyeon about the metadata questions.

@ghing Can you note this and other communications with data sources in the FOIALogs on the appropriate state pages dashboard admin? It's useful to have this type of history in a single spot. Thanks!

[ghing]

@zstumgoren That makes sense. I tried to do this but got a 500 error! Let me know if you want me to try to find the server logs and figure this out.

[zstumgoren]

@ghing damn. looks like a bug crept in. feel free to poke around the nginx and uwsgi logs if you want to see if there's a quick fix. but let's not get too bogged down in it. can also discuss at scrum.

@ghing fwiw, this only appears to be triggered by the Log inline entries. I've been adding VA election inlines all week without problems. Also just tested and election inlines still work fine.

[ghing]

Is there a way I can add a log not as an inline?

[zstumgoren]

Yep, if we created a free-standing LogAdmin resource and redeployed the app. Might be easier than debugging. Feel free to go that route if you like. Would be nice to have :)
