County - 1MB (7MB expanded) http://www.electionsciencefoundation.org/temp_images/county.zip Tract - 4MB (32MB expanded) http://www.electionsciencefoundation.org/temp_images/tract.zip Block Groups - 7MB (60MB expanded) http://www.electionsciencefoundation.org/temp_images/tract.zip I also did a block one, but it comes to 420MB. ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
