        How about the elections for other state and local offices, did you    
        vote a straight ticket or did you vote for candidates from different  
        parties.  (IF STRAIGHT TICKET:)  Which party?/ (IF SPLIT TICKET:)  How
        did you split it?

        In 1962, "split ticket, mostly 'other' party" was combined within a   
        single category with "split ticket, NA how split."  Because of the    
        very small number of cases voting mostly or entirely for a 3rd/minor  
        party, this combination category was recoded to 3.                    
                                                                              
        In 1958, if R voted Democratic or Republican with only 1 exception,   
        then s/he was coded as 'straight ticket.'

             3.  Split ticket - about half and half, NA how split             
             4.  Split ticket - mostly Republican                             
             5.  Straight ticket - Republican
