Link representatives to their Open Civic Data ID #418

Closed konklone closed 11 years ago

Transferred from unitedstates/congress-legislators#143 -

The list of OCD ids is here: https://github.com/opencivicdata/ocd-division-ids/blob/master/identifiers/country-us/us_congressional_districts.csv

seeing as these correspond to divisions, at-large districts would just use the state division, there isn't a cd:at-large made for them

I've added OCD IDs to each legislator in the API, past and present, and updated the /legislators docs to describe the ID, with a link to opencivicdata.org.
