All states have their laws, regulations, and jurisprudence online like North Korea has freedom of speech. Technically yes, but effectively no.

What other topics are you horribly misinformed about?

I think every municipality has them online as well.

How many words do any of those have? A simple word count. Like any word processor can provide circa 1980.

A bunch? How is word count relevant?

It’s a simple function that operates on the entire set of data, not just a sample.

You cannot do even a simple function on the entire set of data. Your examples are piecemeal samples, not the law.

You can’t do a simple word count of the law because you do not have access to the law.

Oh they have them online. Some in terrible pdfs or on sites that are randomly down with no warning. Rarely do you get good text search. God bless you if you're expecting some sort of API

The biggest surprise to me however was the lack of any well-organized effort to centralize all of these. To have them all in one API and make it easy to compare across states or get basic data around what gets passed when, who voted for what, etc. The latter information is sometimes not even available
