Raw OLRC USLM XML zips @ release 119-100 (retrieved 2026-07-04 via
Atlas depot), ingested with the standard pipeline: raw snapshot ->
per-section OKF markdown -> manifest + checksums. Title 52 untouched.
LegalText: 171 -> 11,221. Titles 12-54 await a clean OLRC retry.

Notwithstanding such failure, the burden is upon contestant to prove that the election results entitle him to contestee’s seat.
(Pub. L. 91–138, § 6, Dec. 5, 1969, 83 Stat. 286.)
