Hello,

I been inactive for a long time but haven't stopped working on the Puerto Rico Senate Vote.
I was able to find a source for them the problem is that they provide me a excel dump of all the votes. 
I am not sure what would be the correct approach to host this and what do you guys prefer?

Should I upload the excel to my own webserver and just link the scraper to it??
I tried asking if they can host it on their site but they said no.
I could also provide the file to you guys and you can host it.

Hi Anner-

Is the data you have going to be updated or is it just historical?  If it is just historical it might be worth just checking in alongside the scraper that adds the historical votes with a note as to where it came from.

If there are updates maybe we can convince them to publish them in a consistent place on their own site?

I am actually looking for that information since at least in the JSON dump files the data is missing.
