Are we excluding non-voters? #12

In the KDD paper I excluded those under 18 and non-citizens, but since we're now thinking about "group-based" modeling I think it's fine to include all residents, meaning kids and non-citizens, too. Just wanted to check what's happening in the code currently.

It's an option, on by default; pass voters_only=False to sort_by_region or use pummeler sort --all-people to include everyone.
