  • [x] Address fields needs to be broken up into individual components (address_1 and address_2)

  • address_1 = Street name and address #
  • address_2 = suite # or room #, etc
  • city = city name
  • state = state name spelled out
  • states = state field will be the state spelled out, and state_2 will be the two-letter abbreviation. For the address, need two-letter abbreviations. For some states, the location is in a different state than the voting district (crazy I know. But this is why there is a state field separate which is supposed to be the state spelled out and that is the jurisdiction, not the physical location)
