Need basic setup instructions, info on where the dataset came from and how to obtain your own copy, etc.

For new visitors to search for following:

1. Candidate name

2. State name

Say a user: upvotes, and fills out modal.

U.S. Senate, then U.S. House, then Governor, then state Senate, then state lower chamber (Assembly), then any cities.

ordered by ascending district number, I reckon.

On Q pages, create ability for Admin-level users to paste responses received over email.

Ideally with links to that person page.
