Re-exported directly from Postgres (10.0.0.116), not Atlas's introspection,
which under-reported the roster (its v3 export had 11,473, missing the
restored Florida League of Cities municipal set). Live DB current tenures:
state 7,561 · municipal 4,009 · county 1,217 · federal 542.
- build.py now reads officeholders-v3.jsonl (was v2); dataset vintage 2026-07-04
- fixed one corrupt start_date at source-export (21021-12-03 -> 2021-12-03,
Lorraine Borowski, Mayor of Decorah IA)
- scripts/build_viz.py: committed, deterministic generator for the Board's
county_data.json / county_detail.json (previously built ad-hoc)
- generate_changelog.py: ignore files whose only change is the vintage stamp,
so the diff reflects government change, not re-export bookkeeping
Person files 11,285 -> 13,329. Non-FL municipal officials (1,903) are in the
tree but not yet county-mappable (place->county crosswalk still NULL).

The map grew with the data. The old Board showed coverage at the state
level with a Florida drill-down; now that every US county is a demographic
node, the Board renders all 3,109 contiguous counties directly, with
switchable lenses:
Coverage — the true fog of war: 67 FL counties lit (officeholders
mirrored), the other 3,000+ dark on the frontier.
Population — ACS 2023 choropleth, 33 to 9.8M.
Median income — k to k.
Poverty rate — 1.4% to 48%.
Hover any county for its full readout (demographics + officeholder count).
Self-contained: inlined county geometry (duplicate-point-collapsed),
state-border overlay, hand-rolled projection, event-delegated hover for
3,109 paths, vanilla JS — no external requests. Verified: projection
places counties correctly, 3,099/3,109 join to ACS data.
