PowerBI Desktop V2.1 Drilldown Choropleth Custom JSON file Not Working

In PowerBI Desktop V2.1 I'm trying to use the Drilldown Choropleth add-on. I have a topoJson file that I've created and tested by uploading into mapshaper, and it looked fine. Next I created a github repository and uploaded the file there, but when I reference the file in my application it just shows me two boxes :(. The link to my repository along with a screenshot of my powerBI code is below -- anybody have any suggestions of what I'm doing wrong?

    So the issue ended up being my json file.  The site I downloaded the file from had multiple download format options and I chose json.  I loaded this into mapShaper.com and exported it as a topojson file, but powerBI did not like this.  I finally went back to the site and tried downloading the file as a shape file, reran it through mapShaper, and it worked perfectly.
