Simple script extracting data from https://github.com/unitedstates/congress-legislators, and checking the member URLs for robots.txt files, and if so, checking if there are disallow rules in the robots.txt encompassing the entire site, and preventing constituents from being able to easy access data on the site.

Datasets below:

• senate_access.csv - Senate site data
• house_access.csv - House site data

Both datasets have columns for data about members, whether robots.txt file exists, whether there is a global disallow rule, or any page on the public site with a disallow rule.

Found the following MOC sites had rules prohibiting Google from properly indexing them:

• Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) - https://www.mcconnell.senate.gov
