NOTES:
------
GENERAL NOTE:
Built using VCF1014 (except 1974).
See notes VCF1011 describing process which establishes who R voted
for. Note the following exception for 1974 California cases:  Rs who
gave the party of their vote BUT who gave an 'incorrect' [or DK/NA]
name could not be traced to their congressional district number which
was in effect after the 1974 redistricting in CA, so that party of
winning candidate was unknown:  all such cases have been coded 2 here
[25 cases].
1974 NOTE:
The winners in the 1974 California House congressional races which were 
mistakenly overlooked in the 1974 Study release have been restored 
here.  (Note, however, that 1974 California data for VCF1014 'Who Won' 
is not recoverable.)
WARNING note:  
The procedures used in the creation of the VCF1014 'winner'
var produced data that have been checked somewhat, but perfect
accuracy cannot be completely guaranteed due to the nature of
attempting coding from reference material.  The possibility of some
error must be recognized and the 'winner' established in VCF1014
--and, as a further result, data in VCF1013 (which has been built
using 'winner' data) -- should be used with caution and at the user's
risk.
