Then, we dissolved census blocks by precinct labels. We joined this file with the precinct votes file from VEST. The `POP10` and `HOUSING10` variables are the result of this census-block aggregation. __Documentation__ From VEST's documentation for the precinct-level shapefile with election results: Missouri -------- Election results from the Secretary of State's office via OpenElections (https://github.com/openelections/openelections-sources-mo/tree/master/2016). Results for Attorney General from Butler County and for Lt. Governor from Linn County were corrected with the Statement of Votes Cast from the respective counties. Precinct shapefiles primarily from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2020 Redistricting Data Program Phase 2 release, with the following exceptions and alterations. The following were based on maps received from the county governments: Audrain, Benton, Bollinger, Buchanan, Butler, Caldwell, Callaway, Cape Girardeau, Cedar, Christian, Cooper, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Laclede, Lafayette, Marion, McDonald, Miller, Morgan, Nodaway, Osage, Ray, Texas, Worth, Wright.
