Description: Provides tools to download datasets of German elections
        covering local, state, federal, mayoral, European Parliament,
        and county (Kreistag) elections, with federal county-level
        coverage from 1953 and other families extending through 2025.
        The package supplies turnout, vote shares, and derived
        indicators at the municipal and county level, including
        geographically harmonized datasets that account for changes in
        municipal boundaries over time and incorporate mail-in voting
        districts. Bundled data includes county-level INKAR covariates
        (1995-2022) and municipality-level Zensus 2022 indicators. Data
        is sourced from
        <https://github.com/awiedem/german_election_data>.
