Data formats: a question

[Open Elections Team]

Folks,

Right now we offer two forms of data: those in openelections-data-{state} repositories & those in openelections-results-{state} repositories. The former has been mostly for converted data; an example would be https://github.com/openelections/openelections-data-tx. The latter has a bit more standardization & we add OCD IDs, but also is more work. They also power the links on openelections.net. An example would be https://github.com/openelections/openelections-results-nc/tree/master/raw.

We're thinking about just going with the simpler format. Thoughts?

Thanks,

Derek

Since the simpler data-{state} format is all I've ever used or contributed to,
my universe contains only that example. And it works fine. So fwiw, that simpler
format would be fine with me.
