Senate district Projection This shapefile uses a NAD83/Delaware (ft) projection (ESPG:2235). ## Processing Steps Some very limited merging of precincts in the tabular election data was necessary to join to the precinct shapefile. Data from three countywide precincts that reported absentee votes were disaggregated by voting age population using MGGG’s proration software. Demographic data was aggregated from the block level using MGGG’s proration software. State legislative district IDs were also assigned to precincts using this package. ## Additional Notes Rating from MGGG: We give these shapefiles an A rating. All data was obtained from the state government and was processed by MGGG staff.
