        1980-later; cases without Ballot Card:  Respondents who had voted     
        outside the Congressional District of their sample selection location 
        could not use the Ballot Card for their sample location, and question 
        wording was altered somewhat for these interviews. 1980 was the first 
        year that 'outside' Congressional District voting was tracked and     
        documented.                                                           
                                                                              
        Codes 81-92 first appeared in 1980 study data (not in 1978 data).     
                                                                              
        1992 and later:  Code 97 includes cases where R volunteered that      
        he/she voted "a straight ticket" but no candidate for R's party ran;  
        it also includes cases where R insists that he/she voted for a        
        specific party's candidate but no candidate from that party ran in R's
        district.  For Rs who voted outside district of interview location,   
        code 97 also includes candidates named by R but whose CD and party are
        not known.  It also includes cases where R names a candidate but the  
        name is not among names of candidates within a known 'outside' CD.
