elex-2334-remove-total-voters-columns #40

Description

"totalvoters{estimand}" has been removed everywhere. Instead we add in the additional voter (needed to avoid division by 0) into the "last_electionresults{estimand}" columns directly.

Run model and make sure nothing breaks. Try both gaussian and nonparametric, and no fixed effects v fixed effects = 'postal_code' (this is in a multi-state election test)
