Using the following lookup:

http://openstates.org/api/v1/legislators/geo/?long=-78.746807&lat=42.153098&apikey=[redacted]

Joseph Giglio comes up twice with two different IDs from OpenStates, NYL000111 and NYL000219. All the other data seems to match. I'm now using the votesmart_id to watch for duplicates, but not sure if this is intentional or a dataset error.
