I will put this together. I ran a quick query on the voter registration database and the names seem to be a bit more standardized than I remember. It could be that I cleaned it already. Another option is pulling from another, much dirtier data source, such as FEC campaign finance data. That will give us not only variations in words like mount, borough and township but also misspellings of town names.

Any luck?

Added @CarlaAstudillo & @sstirling to this repo.
Obviously, Eric and I didn't get very far with this. But if you two find any compelling use case for something like this, let me know. I'd be interested in resurrecting this. If not, no big deal. Got plenty to keep us busy.

I'm sure we'll stumble across something before long.
