[EL] Models for local districting

[Scott Rafferty]

I neglected to mention one very useful resource:
https://www.localredistricting.org/
This has information about commissions around the country, as well as
guidance on how to design an ordinance.
It is not being maintained, but is very useful.   Many thanks to Nick
Heidorn and Common Cause.
