 functionality:
 - allow filtering by votes across multiple races (or single race for races with numVotes > 1). or choose multiple candidates in 1 race and compare how their voters voted in other races
-- only hide contest with filtered candidate if numVotes for contest is 1! otherwise results are interesting
 - filter by precinct (or district?), ballot type (could be interesting for NPP vs registered dems in dem primary)
