Process for updating historical legislator data

Closed this issue · 0 comments

We noticed that our term end date for Jon Kyl was incorrect - we had 2020-11-03 whereas he actually left office 2018-12-31.

We get this data from the @unitedstates GitHub repo.

The term end date is correct in their historical data.

However we only connect to their legislators-current data and then make a copy in our own /data folder. We don't have a good way to update that if it changes.
