TIGER is not updating at a reasonable pace, so we're looking at alternative sources.

https://thearp.org/blog/map-archive/ is promising. This PR attempts to move downloads to using this source.

Looking at data from https://redistrictingdatahub.org/, which requires a login and registration process that may be a bit onerous for long-term usage. But their data is significantly better than ARP.
