Merged at MCD Group level.
The computer merge worked well. Handmatching was done for all but 3 counties (Kay, Washington, which could be aggregated to county level) and Washita (no census data).
Oklahoma codes to go with math90ok.xls are in the two columns after the censusprec column.
00:unmatched 01:absentee vote 02:assumes 32s=320 03:match basis was wrong (check on why, see "match" variable) 04:questionable; good guess 05:zero before "censprec" number caused no-match 06:assumes x=x+xa 07:assumes x=xa+xb 08:2 electoral precincts=1censprec (usually joined by ampersand) 09:3 electoral precincts=1cp 10:4 electoral precincts=1cp 11:5 electoral precincts=1cp 12:x=x+xa+xb (no such cases in OK) 13:dashes created no-matches 14:spelling or word similar but not exactly the same 89:2mcd=3 electoral precincts=1cp 90:3mcds=4 electoral precincts=1cp 91:3mcds=2 electoral precincts=1cp 92:4mcds=2 electoral precincts=1cp 93:2mcds=4 electoral precinct=1cp 94:3mcds=5 electoral precincts=1cp 95:3mcds=3 electoral precincts=1cp 96:2mcds=1 electoral precinct=2cps 97:2mcds=3 electoral precincts 98:countywide problem 99:2mcds=2 electoral precincts=1cp
Note some of the information in 89-99 repeats the information in 6-12 so these codes could be collapsed or changed.
Additional codes in the 3rd and following columns after "censprec" column are each of the MCD codes (from 2 to 4) that were "lost" in the merge.
