sunlightlabs/openstates — Issue #143: Validation check for duplicate members

State: open

If the number of seats/members is largely static per state, do we have a means to check the scraped results against this?

For instance, Texas has 150 reps, 31 senators (+1 lieutenant governor). If the API call to Texas' members returns something bigger (current example: 184) then we know something is wrong.

However, you may already have this and are just struggling to keep your heads above water at this point ;-)
