New England county names are returned all-uppercase #336

Closed mileswwatkins closed 5 years ago

mileswwatkins commented 5 years ago

All county names for New England are returned in uppercase for their reportingunitName. Conversely, all reportingunitName fields for counties in other states, or for townships in New England states, are returned with appropriate casing.

Eg from an Elex CSV output; the first is a New England township (Barrington), the second is a New England county (MIDDLESEX), and the third is a non-New-England county (Tuscaloosa):
