A system for pulling in campaign finance data, and other related data, generally in real time. Under substantial development. Some of the loading code has been rewritten for execution by worker processes that don't depend on django.

The electronic filing "sources" csv files are based on the NYT's ruby library: https://github.com/NYTimes/Fech

The legislators data comes from the unitedstates/congress-legislators repo: https://github.com/unitedstates/congress-legislators
