VAR CF1013 DID R VOTE FOR HOUSE WINNER COLUMNS 706 - 706 NUMERIC MD EQ 0 OR GE 9 DID R VOTE FOR WINNER? ------------------------------------------------------------------- USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B. See notes VCF1011 describing process which establishes who R voted for. Note the following exception for 1974 California cases: Rs who gave the party of their vote BUT who gave an 'incorrect' [or DK/NA] name could not be traced to their congressional district number which was in effect after the 1974 redistricting in CA, so that party of winning candidate was unknown: all such cases have been coded 2 here [25 cases]. This var was built using 'winner' var 1014 (except 1974 [for 1974, outside sources were used]). Note: the winners in the 1974 California House congressional races which were mistakenly overlooked in the past release have been restored here. (Note, however, that 1974 California data for VCF1014 'Who Won' is not recoverable.) WARNING: The procedures used in the creation of the VCF1014 'winner' var produced data that have been checked somewhat, but perfect accuracy cannot be completely guaranteed due to the nature of attempting coding from reference material. The possibility of some error must be recognized and the 'winner' established in VCF1014 --and, as a further result, data in VCF1013 (which has been built using 'winner' data) -- should be used with caution and at the user's risk. If you find errors, please notify NES staff. 1. R'S VOTE: for winner 2. R'S VOTE: for candidate other than the winner (incl. names not on candidate list) 9.
