🧭PB-12: Split-Ballot Legislative Precinct Verification

Mississippi Benchmark: 356 Split Legislative Precincts (3 U.S. Congressional splits, 96 State Senate splits, 308 State House splits) across 1,769 precincts.
Plain-English Explanation for Election Commissioners & Citizens

When a legislative district boundary cuts through the middle of a voting precinct, two neighbors who vote at the exact same polling place may belong to different State House or State Senate districts. Auditing all 356 split legislative precincts helps County Election Commissioners verify E-911 street-range ballot styles before printing pollbooks so every voter receives the correct ballot.
