RE: @district macro (was RE: Gems)

["Ken Clark" <ken@gesn.com>]

Its possible (probable) that I broke it in 1.18 when I did the @district
stuff.  Can you live without it until Jan?  You can fake it with @district
by creating a district for every precinct and using @district (like with
precinct committee officer races), but I agree that sucks.
