Congressional Vote Tracker

This is the code that backs the Twitter account for @congress247. It retrieves publicly accessible data about votes in the U.S. Congress and tweets summaries about them. It currently only reports on Senate votes.

Setup

Clone the repo:

	git clone https://github.com/nevern02/vote_tracker.git

Make a local secrets file:

	cp config/secrets.yml.example config/secrets.yml

The rake update task does all the work of grabbing the latest vote data and turning it into tweets.
