Some caveats:
- Every list has errors. As we visit homes, we'll get feedback on things to correct, then re-issue a slightly better list...wash, rinse, repeat.
- Some pins in this map plot in the middle of street intersections. Google Maps took a best guess at a confusing address...often a fractional/letter-suffix apartment address on a residential lot.
- This pin drop map works best on single family dwelling districts, not apartment complexes...such as Capri Manor Apartments at 1404 Cuba, which takes up a whole block.
- Google Maps only shows one pin at a given house, even if there are two or more pins. There is no additional symbology/coloring to tell you that there are multiple voters at a given address. Even if you click on a pin, you only get the data for the topmost one in the stack, with no indication that other pins are below the top one. (There is a workaround of sorts. I can make lists of those households that have multiple voters.)

Why did I make this initial map? To look for 'empty' homes that have no pins, no registered voters. Those might be good homes to visit for a voter registration drive. (Later, we can look for very old voters and see if they want to be added to the mail-in ballot list that is now a permanent option...and other plans/strategies/demographic groups.)
Look at the screenshot above. If you zoom in enough, you get house numbers shown, and can see that, on Circle Drive the following homes don't have registered voters: 1402, 1406, 1500, 1506, and 1510. These all lie on the same side of that street and your walking distance is only a few hundred yards.
