Description

The [Bundesrat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundesrat_of_Germany) publishes its voting results on 16 different websites. Let's centralize them!

https://www.bundesrat.de/DE/plenum/abstimmung/abstimmung-node.html

So first, you have to extract the text from the text-based PDFs. Tools such as https://github.com/pdfminer/pdfminer.six could help. In the next step, you have to aggregate the results for each "Drucksache". Not sure how accurately the extracted will be. Maybe some manual data cleaning is necessary. To automacally scrape the results, you could put the scrapers on https://morph.io/.
