NOTES:
------
1962 NOTE:
"Split ticket, mostly 'other' party" was combined in study data with
"split ticket, NA how split."  Because of the very small number of 
cases voting mostly or entirely for a 3rd/minor party, this combination 
category was recoded to 3.
1958 NOTE:
If R voted Democratic or Republican with only 1 exception, then R
was coded as 'straight ticket.'
