General usage notes

Methods and accuracy

For any questions about how we clean and Quality Assure these data, and how accurate they are, please consult this paper, which answers those questions for our 2016, 2018, and 2020 precinct data efforts: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41597-022-01745-0.

Warnings

• In general, users need to exercise real caution when computing descriptive statistics. Please make sure you understand exactly which rows belong in the computation you're performing. Here are two of the most common issues:
  • Sometimes the way that states report data generates fictitious zero-vote rows, where a candidate is recorded as getting no votes in a precinct where they did not actually appear on the ballot. It is not generally possible to ensure that all real zero-vote totals are recorded while no fictitious zero-vote totals are recorded. This could affect, for example, measures of central tendency.
  • We typically retain exactly the modes that states report. This can lead to double-counting if users do not select the correct modes, for example if modes are split apart and a mode value of TOTAL is included. Users should make sure that any analysis includes votes of each mode once.
• While we attempt to verify every value of every variable, magnitude values in particular may be approximate for local-level offices. Please double-check these values before relying on them. We are also still working to make sure that the NONPARTISAN value of the party fields is propagated correctly to local offices.
• mode values typically retain the state's original classification. These original data sources may not identify modes in a way that is consistent across jurisdictions, and one jurisdiction may report more granularly or more accurately than another. For example, UOCAVA ballots may be classed as ABSENTEE without any means to disaggregate them.
