Hello,
I am having some names show up on the unmatched leg id page:
Here is a example of a committees member exactly as show on the unmatched_leg_ids page:

Brenda López de Arrarás

here is a example of the mongo db legislators table:

"full_name": "Brenda López de Arrarás",
"_scraped_name": "Brenda López de Arrarás",

This names match up exactly letter by letter. But when I run the report it still shows them as unmatched I have around 30 names with the exact same problem.
Any ideas what may be causing this?
