(ASKED OF Rs WHO VOTED):
How about the vote/election for Governor (1952, 1958: here in
<state>)? Did you vote for a candidate for Governor? (IF YES:) Who
did you vote for?
Which party was that?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.
Ballot card was not used until 1978. In 1978-1982, 1986 R selected
name from ballot card. When R gave a name not on the candidate list,
MD was coded, and party of vote was undetermined.
In 1952, 1958, 1964-1968 (no ballot card), when an incorrect name--
i.e., not on the candidate list--was given with a party association,
the party given was coded. When a correct name was given with an
incorrect party, then the actual party associated with the named
candidate was coded: "Smith, a Democrat" was coded as a Republican if,
in fact (contrary to R's perception) Smith was indeed a Republican.
In 1970-1976 (no ballot card), R's perception of candidate's party was
given. If an incorrect name (not on the candidate list) was given,
party associated was still coded. If a given party was not the actual
party of a correctly named candidate, party as given was still coded.
In 1952, 1958, 1960 and 1964, this question was coded as a multiple
response allowing, when applicable, for candidate-at-large mentions
(2nd response) as well as district choice of candidates (1st
response). Second responses were excluded in coding VCF9025.

If R did not vote AND R's state did not have a gubernatorial race,
then 0 (not 9) has been coded.
In 1980, 1982, 1986, 1990: if there was no race in state of IW BUT it
was determined that R voted outside of state of IW AND R designated
his/her vote for governor in the other state, then this variable has
been coded for the party of R's "outside" vote, not coded 0 MD (no
race in state). Before 1980, it was not determined whether R voted
outside of state of IW, and no information was previously available
for any votes for governor outside of state of IW.
