45208 zip code shares 2 reps. Anyway to find these reps using sunlight? Steve Chabot and Jean Schmidt share this zip code. Sunlight search returns only Jean Schmidt.

Well Sunlight is returning both, but cd_sunlight module only show the first one.

Are you seeing this behaviour via the "find my reps via address" form, or elsewhere?

Yes, looking at this today, this can be seen with the zipcode view as well as CiviCRM integration.

However, the API call cd_sunlight_api_lookup does return all the districts to the caller of the function.

Yes as for the CiviCRM integration it goes through great pains to get CiviCRM to geocode contacts and use lat/long instead. Zip is only used as a fallback when the geocoding either failed, or is not accurate enough (for example when an address contains only a city and state).

The views-powered form at /congress-search however only uses zip codes. One way to make this work would be for cd_civicrm to hijack the form, add address fields, perform the geocoding, and do a lookup with the lat/long.

That would only work if cd_civicrm is enabled, but I think any integration with other modules that do geocoding should happen elsewhere.
