Duplicate candidates

[evz]

Finding some potential duplicates for candidates in the data we scraped from the illinois elections site:

Robert W Fioretti / Bob Fioretti George A. Cardenas / George Cardenas William Cochran / Willie B Cochran

I know the first one is the same guy. Not so sure about the other two.

Robert and Bob are the same people

George A. Cardenas and George Cardenas are the same people

William Cochran and Willie Cochran are the same person

Also

Michael Chandler and Michael D Chandler
