Precinct style variance
I listed every first precinct in every file. This was the result.

Evidently, there's a lot of variance between files. I'm considering standardizing these, unless there's a higher priority task.
@alanhuang122 what's your plan for standardizing them?
You might have surmised from #108; removing leading zeroes from numeric precinct numbers, converting floating point representations to integer representations, stripping names and prepended "Precinct", etc.
Ok, yeah. I'm down with that.
