read_html_table

<code>read_html_table()</code> returns an HTML table at a specified URL and CSS element
as a dataframe.

Provides easy-to-understand and consistent interfaces for
accessing data on the U.S. Congress. The functions in 'filibustr'
streamline the process for importing data on Congress into R, removing
the need to download and work from CSV files and the like. Data
sources include 'Voteview' (<https://voteview.com/>), the U.S. Senate
website (<https://www.senate.gov/>), and more.
