Try as I might, I'm unable to get the Voter History Import function to work. Here's an example of what my data looks like - can anyone help walk me through it or point me to where this is explained?
VOTER ID,vh04p1,vh04g1,vh06p1,vh06g1,vh08p1,vh08g1,vh10p1,vh10g1
010047723,N,N,N,Y,N,Y,Y,Y
Essentially, I took the mapping fields that it looks like NB is expecting and coded it as Y for voted, N for did not vote. The first field is the state voter ID from my initial import of all registered voters.

1) state_file_id is not a field option
2) unique matching should only require a nationbuilder_id
The short answer to both of your questions is that you are doing it right, there is just some bug that I need to get fixed. I’ll do that and get your data imported.
Yes, if you supply a state_file_id in the import, it is supposed to match those up and let you tag them. And your mapping on the voter history is correct as well.
You must supply at least a first and last name, an email address, or a phone number. is invalid
However, this makes no sense from a data perspective. First/Last name paris are not unique in my dataset. I don’t have phone numbers or emails. However, VOTER ID (which I map to NB state_file_id) is unique. It’s also what I want to use to merge the data.
