## Processing Steps
Precinct and block shapefiles were retrieved from the sources listed above. The primary libraries used in processing are geopandas, pandas, and maup (https://github.com/mggg/maup) in Python.
The block data was prepared by creating the VAP_MOD field which is the total Voting Age Population (P0040001) minus Correctional Facility/Prison Population (P0050003) which will be used as the denominator in disaggregation.
The block file was queried out to include just the GEOID20, VAP_MOD, and geometry fields.
To assign blocks to precincts, the maup.assign function was used. Some blocks did not receive an assignment but nearly all of these had a VAP_MOD value of 0, meaning those blocks should not receive any votes during allocation anyway. In the rare instance where there was a block with a VAP_MOD > 0 and no precinct assignment, the nearest precinct within the same county was identified using minimum polygon boundary distance and used as the block's assignment.
After the blocks have received an assignment, they are grouped by their new assignment and summed to give a total VAP_MOD value for the precinct. A ratio is then calculated of VAP_MOD block / VAP_MOD precinct, which is applied to all candidate columns (those starting with "G24").
In some instances, there are precincts that sum to 0 for VAP_MOD but do contain votes. In order to not lose votes in the disaggregation process, these blocks are modified to VAP_MOD=1, then summed again to get a non-zero value denominator for VAP_MOD at the precinct. Therefore all blocks in the precinct would have the same ratio applied and receive the same distribution of votes. All blocks that have a modified VAP_MOD value were returned to their original value of 0 before extraction to maintain accuracy.
A key assumption of maup is that a block receives one precinct as an assignment. The RDH checks for any precincts with votes which have not been assigned to any blocks. In these instances, the block file is clipped to each precinct geometry, and the block which has the largest area inside the precinct receives all of the votes from that precinct.
The data are disaggregated from each of their respective split shapefiles (e.g. US House, State House, State Senate) from the source above, to preserve accuracy (rather than the _all_ file). They are joined back together and then a Hamilton rounding method is performed to ensure that all voters are whole numbers and sum exactly to the same totals.
