Montana geocoding incorrect.

[kirk Wagoner]

Openstates api returns wrong representative and senator for address.

openstates is returning OLD district numbers and therefore wrong representatives.

Example:

An address submited from inside Jefferson County, MT will return old house district number 77 and old senate district number 38 which are incorrect.

Old House district 77 was in Jefferson County, MT new House district 77 is a different county.

It does return the correct Representative and Senator for the district number but the district numbers are wrong for the locations.

This applies to all districts in Montana as they were changes in numbering and geographic boundaries.

The correct data and shape files can be found here:

Please fix

Thanks

This is also a problem in Alaska.

Thanks y'all,

We're reloading the GIS data as we speak -- just need to verify the
data that we're pulling in, we've hit a few quirks.

Sorry about that, we'll get this back up ASAP. Sorry Shay, I know
you're using this data, I'll be sure it gets up quickly.

Paul
