All read* functions in this package have been removed, because it wasn’t clear if anyone was using them. Other functions that called an Ecfun::read* function by default were also deleted, especially UShouse.senate, USsenateClass, and mergeUShouse.senate. These all scraped websites, and the demand for them seemed not to justify the work of maintaining them.
