1974 NOTE:
Note:  1974 California data for VCF1014 'Who Won' is not recoverable
because 'type of race' in California districts for the 1974 election
cannot be determined.
WARNING NOTE:  
The procedures used in the creation of the VCF1014 'winner' for 1970,
and 1974 produced data that have been checked somewhat, but  perfect 
accuracy cannot be completely guaranteed due to the nature of 
attempting case- by-case  coding from reference material.  The 
possibility of some error must be  recognized and the 'winner' 
established in VCF1014 should be used with caution and at the user's 
risk.
