V000082 (2000 State FIPS and CD); V000083 (Congressional District No.); V000084 (ICPSR State and CD); and V000086 (State/CD - vote outside CD) had missing data definitions that were "reversed"; that is, "Equal To" was defined as "Greater Than" and vice versa.

To correct the data, the following recodes may be used:

SAS: 

if V000082 EQ 0 then V000082=.;
if V000082 GE 9999 then V000082=.;
if V000083 EQ 0 then V000083=.;
if V000083 GE 99 then V000083=.;
if V000084 EQ 0 then V000084=.;
if V000084 GE 9999 then V000084=.;
if V000086 EQ 0 then V000086=.;
if V000086 GE 9999 then V000086=.;

SPSS 

if V000082 (0, 9999 thru highest) 
if V000083 (0, 99 thru highest) 
if V000084 (0, 9999 thru highest) 
if V000086 (0, 9999 thru highest)
