        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.

                  if voted for governor; DK/NA/refused to say who voted for;  
                  name given by R not on candidate list (1978-1990); no post  
                  IW (all presidential years); forms III and IV (1972);

             0.   No gubernatorial race in state (includes Washington D.C.)
