A geojson representation of the 113th Congress.
Converision was done from the 2013 Tiger Line Shapefiles using the GDAL library.
The file districts.json is too large to have stored in github (100.4 MB), so it is pushed gziped to github.
To get the file on your computer -
$ git clone http://github.com/hunterowens/Congressional_Districts.git
$ cd Congressional_Districts
$ gunzip districts.json
And you can then accesss the file. To avoid adding the full file to git when running commands such as git add ., districts.json is in the gitignore. Should you make modifications to file, run gzip districts.json, add the file to git and then push it to origin. Pull Requests Welcome.
One way to the load the geojson onto a map is to use Tilemill and add the file districts.json as a layer.
