Verifier

This is the Elasticsearch-based system which resolves buckets of fuzzy contact info to one or more voter registration records. The most interesting entrypoints is the match_many routines in matching.py.

By nature, the algorithm filters rather little and ranks rather much.

In indexing.INDEX_SETTINGS, the number_of_replicas is presently 2.
