        USE WEIGHT VARIABLE VCF0009/VCF0009A/VCF0009B.

        Because some original NES datasets provided information about non-
        major-party candidates while other original datasets did not, non-
        major-party candidates are not accounted for here unless they are
        incumbents (and are asterisked [**]).

        Note that in 1984, 1 case in Connecticut which was mistakenly coded 82
        in the original dataset has been corrected to 85 here.  Also 1 case in
        Pennsylvania in 1984 which was mistakenly coded 85 in the original
        dataset has been corrected to 82 here.
