Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No topojson file exists to visualize the geographies the data in this repo contains.

Describe the solution you'd like
Create a topojson that contains a Albers projection of the United States that has both state-level and county-level layers from the 2019 cartographic boundary files published by the U.S. Census Bureau Geography department. Lo Bénichou put together a great tutorial on how to use mapshaper.org to do this.

Describe alternatives you've considered
No alternatives exist.

Additional context
This topojson will be used to visualize the data in this repo. Topojson should not include Alaska county-level boundaries since the data for 2020 are at the Alaska House District level.
