Missouri

Merged at MCD Group level.

Missouri has a very large number of MCDGRPs allowable due to Census geographical definitions. Thus, for each of the four years, there were 2-3 invalid MCDGRPs that were left in. Users should be aware of this problem. Specifically, in 2-3 cases for each year, there is a pair of MCDGRPs, one of which has a larger population according to the electoral data than the Census variables show, and one of which has a smaller (or nonexistent) population according to the electoral data than the Census variables indicate. See the file MATF MO.LOG for more information about which MCDGRPs have no PLVD information. Some of these - but not necessarily all - will be one half of the 'problem pairs' described. These problem pairs are:
