[Geowanking] us voting precinct shape data

[S Wotherspoon]

The geography of voting precincts changes at each redistricting (every 10
years) and the decision making takes place at the municipal level. There are
very few public data sets of precinct data because of this, and the federal
gov. definitely doesn't keep track of the geographies. Some counties may
provide precinct geographic files to the public and the Registrar of Voters
is the source.
