Lineage
Process Step
Process Description The shapefile was delivered as a zipped file. Upon unzipping the file, the shapefile was converted into a coverage to ensure clean polygons. The coverage was cleaned, and dissolved on all the items. There were some sliver polygons which were edited by Earth Data Analysis Center. The coverage was then converted back to a shapefile. Finally the resulting shapefile was dissolved on House for a house shapefile, as well as Senate for a senate shapefile.

Process Step
Process Description There were problems with dissolving the shapefile on the various items, house, senate, and county that there were ghost lines. The shapefile was converted into a coverage, dissolved on all the items, renamed to shorten the item names, converted back to a shapefile. It was found that through this process the ghostlines dissappeared.
