• Replacing deprecated tidyr functions with up-to-date ones
  (#14, thanks @counterpig). This may result in some slight differences in
  data structures, please check your code.

Changes

• election_candidates() returns a tibble, with different formats and names
  than previous versions that will be easier to work with.

  existing code.
