NOTES:
------
GENERAL NOTE:
The respondent has been considered a partisan if R was 'strong', 'weak' 
or 'leaning'.
In 1978 and later, 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 1970-1976, every House candidate was assigned a unique candidate 
number.  Rs who reported their House vote were coded into two 
variables, the first of which recorded the candidate number of the 
named candidate, if the name was correctly given.  If the name 
mentioned by the respondent was not on the complete list of candidates 
and candidate numbers, then the response was simply coded as 
'incorrect.'  The respondent was then asked for the party of the 
candidate which s/he named.  VCF1011-1013 WERE BUILT FOR 1970-1976 
USING THE SECOND, OR "PARTY OF VOTE," VARIABLE (even in cases where the 
party given by R was not appropriate for a correctly rendered candidate 
name).  [NOTE:  if name given in 1970-1976 was 'incorrect' or DK/NA, 
"party of vote" variable was still used unless missing data:  if "party 
of vote" was missing data and name was 'incorrect' or DK/NA, vote in 
VCF1011-1013 has been coded 9.]  Note that VCF0707, VCF0736 vote vars 
were also created from this "party of vote" variable for 1970-1976, but 
the vote data present in VCF1011-1013 differ slightly from that in 
VCF0707 and VCF0736 in 1970-1976 for the following cases:  if R 
correctly gave the name of a candidate who was on the complete list of 
candidates and candidate numbers BUT did not provide any party 
designation (DK or NA) in the followup 'party of vote' var, then the 
party of the candidate correctly named in the first recall (name) var 
was ascertained and incorporated into VCF1011-1013.  This procedure was
not undertaken for 1970-1976 in vars VCF0707 and VCF0736, which retain
these cases as missing data.
Note that, because no ballot card was used, for 1968-1976 the party
for which R claimed to have voted in the House election is represented
in VCF1011-1013 even for so-called 'impossible' cases:  e.g., when R
declares R voted for a Democrat when R lives in a Congressional 
district in which only a Republican incumbent ran in the House 
election: in such a case, VCF1011-1013 are coded as if R did indeed 
vote for a Democrat.
1968 NOTE:
R's response to the House vote question was coded into a single summary 
variable which provided categories to establish whether R provided a 
correct or incorrect Democratic House candidate name, a correct or 
incorrect Republican House candidate name, a party mention only, or a 
minor party/write-in/unidentifiable candidate name.  This 1968 variable 
was accompanied by the following note:  "When R's mention of candidate 
name and party were inconsistent, the response was coded as if party 
were the dominant element.  Example:  R mentioned 'Burke, a Democrat' 
but Burke was a Republican.  Response was coded 'incorrect Republican 
candidate.'" For VCF1011-1013, party of R's 1968 House vote was taken 
from this variable.
