        1980-later cases administered without Ballot Card presentation include
        respondents who had voted outside the state of their sample selection 
        location. 1980 was the first year that 'outside' voting was tracked   
        and documented. [Interviews administered with Ballot Card present may 
        have been preceded by a lead-in such as "Still looking at the list of 
        candidates..]                                                         
                                                                              
        In California in 1992, in Tennessee in 1994, and in Kansas in 1996 the
        regular Senate election and a second "special" Senate election were   
        held.  This variable codes data for the respondent's vote in the      
        regular Senate election only.  [Note special question wording was not 
        used for Tennessee in 1994; in the processing of the original 1994    
        Study data, responses for the "special" Tennessee Senate election were
        ignored in coding and are not found in the 1994 Study data.]
