USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.
Because some original NES datasets provided information about non-
major-party candidates while other original datasets did not, non-
major-party candidates are not accounted for here unless they are
incumbents (and are asterisked [**]).
Note that in 1984, 1 case in Connecticut which was mistakenly coded 82
in the original dataset has been corrected to 85 here. Also 1 case in
Pennsylvania in 1984 which was mistakenly coded 85 in the original
dataset has been corrected to 82 here.
