NOTES:
------
GENERAL NOTE:
Congressional district corresponds to the districting in effect during
the year of the interview, with the exception of California only for
1974: the redistricting occurring in California during 1974 was not
completed in time to be represented in the 1974 study. District
numbers associated with 1974 California respondents are the district
numbers which were in effect in 1973.
Note that in some years several cases of corrections have been made to
states and/or Congressional districts due to inconsistencies or errors
in the STUDY data.
1992 NOTE 1:
For panel cases, this provides the congressional district of R's
original address (1990) rather than that of the address at which R was
residing in 1992. Additionally, even if R did not move since 1990, the
redistricting which took place in many areas in 1992 may have changed
R'S district number in 1992.
1992 NOTE 2:
Late in 1994, it was discovered that in 50 cases an incorrect CD number
had been assigned. These errors affect all questions related to House
race which are administered according to assigned-CD candidate names.
In the introduction to this codebook (p. iv) is a listing of 1992 (pre)
case IDs with correct congressional districts, however no data have
been changed in this file as a result. Users of CDF data can delete
these cases from affected vars if desired.
1994 NOTE:
For panel cases who moved since their original, VCF0900 records the
congressional district where R was interviewed for the current Study.
The candidate list information also corresponds to the district where R
was residing during the current Study interview.
1996 NOTE:
same as 1994.
2000 NOTE:
3 cases were misidentified PA in the Preload but should have been NJ.
These cases are coded 00.
2002 NOTE:
Preload district assignment was incorrect in 1 case.
