Congressional District Shape File Splitter

For later use I want to show the individual congressional districts over a period of time. I am able to retrieve all the congressional districts from http://cdmaps.polisci.ucla.edu/, but they come all lumped in a large 50 MB files for each congressional term.

I am using Python and qGis 2.18 to break down the congressional districts of each term into their own individual GeoJSON file that will be later used for the website GerryMapper.

Prerequisites

qGis 2.18
Python 2.7 or 3.6

Deployment

Use this script within the Qgis 2.18 Python Console
