GENERAL NOTE:
For all years, this var has been built from placements of Democratic
and Republican House candidates. See VCF9099, VCF9104.
1982 NOTE:
1982 study data included 2 sets of vars for 2 running incumbents due to
redistricting in two congressional districts (19 cases affected). For
this year, the incumbent who represented R's sampling location BEFORE
the 1982 redistricting has been considered R's 'incumbent'. The other
candidate, the incumbent previously representing another Congressional
district (i.e., not previously representing the district of R's sample
location) has been considered the 'challenger' to the running
incumbent.
