While the 2010 precincts have been added, there's uncertainty that these are still valid borders going into 2018. This creates a two-stage ticket:

  • 1. Have the precinct boundaries in MD changed since 2010?
  • 2. If so, how do we run down the new ones?

@migurski I'm going to do a visual check on this Montgomery county 2016 map, but I'm sort of at a loss for how else to verify that things have actually changed. Anyone up for scraping this polling place search tool?

Well, that was a quick find. Based on comparison between the 2010 precincts we already have and this 2016 map of Prince George's county precincts we are officially out of date. Note the subdivisions in the 2016 map that don't appear in the overlaid 2010 lines:

@nvkelso @migurski Would it be worth bugging Bill Dollins about this or am I misreading that he's a geospatial-professional-who-lives-in-Maryland?

Per Señor Dollins, here are the updated Montgomery county precincts. They definitely fit the 2016 map:
