surname_year = 2010 throwing error #72

Closed lorenc5 closed 4 years ago

Performing BISG to obtain race probabilities. Error in merge_surnames(voter.file) : object 'surnames2010' not found;

Issue is solved by setting surname_year =2010 instead of assuming the default. Even though this is the default.

Looked into this. I'm not sure if it has to do with including the keyword argument (I can't reproduce this error that way). However, I think we will need to switch wru to depends, rather than imports. It seems like that's the only way to guarantee we'll have access to the surnames2010 dataset in wru.
