  • Ability to find a SMD by address, by device geolocation, and by clicking on the map
  • Maps color-coded by whether or not the election was contested per SMD
  • Listing of SMDs that are adjacent to each SMD.

  • Process for ingesting and matching DCBOE candidate lists from PDF
  • Counts of districts by contested / uncontested status by ANC and Ward
  • Links to candidate websites, Twitter pages, and Facebook pages. All candidates researched on Google at minimum
  • List of landmarks within SMDs (116 SMDs with landmarks!)
  • Script for identifying links to candidate pages that had become broken
  • System for reading and writing to Google Sheets as a publicly-viewable backend for this project
