GENERAL NOTE:
1980 was the first year that 'outside' Congressional District voting 
was identified.
Codes 81-92 first appeared in 1980 study data (not in 1978 data).
1992 and later:  Code 97 includes cases where R volunteered that
he/she voted "a straight ticket" but no candidate for R's party ran;
it also includes cases where R insists that he/she voted for a
specific party's candidate but no candidate from that party ran in R's
district.  For Rs who voted outside district of interview location,
code 97 also includes candidates named by R but whose CD and party are
not known.  It also includes cases where R names a candidate but the
name is not among names of candidates within a known 'outside' CD.
