6	Colorado	So many tables in so many PDFs

11	Hawaii	"Yes with reservations" is an allowable vote

13	Illinois	House speaker never referred to by name so you have to look up who it is at a given time

27	Nebraska	Unicameral legislature

30	New Jersey	Bulk data as microsoft access file
31	New Mexico	Lieutentant governor allowed to vote
