each voter to a 2010 Census Block on their Voter File. The RDH aggregated the individual level Voter File to the Census Block level. The fields were renamed to fit character length requirements. The RDH created Census Block GEOIDs by concatenating the County FIPS, Census Tract, and Census Block codes for each individual. For some individuals, the GEOID created by concatenating the fields was not one that exists on the Census. The RDH removed these, as they are likely attributed to movers who were reassigned county but were not geocoded at their new address. This accounted for less than 1.5% of voters nationally. Processing was completed using SQL. The RDH cannot certify the accuracy of any of the information contained within this file. ## Additional Notes * RDH is providing aggregates of the top 8 parties in the state. ** For the narrow ethnicity categories, RDH is providing an aggregate of all ethnicities that have more than 1000 individuals state-wide. L2 ethnicity categories use modeling techniques to infer an individual's ethnicity. Please see the attached PDF for more information about L2's ethnicity fields. European includes the following narrow-categories, that are not broken out on this file: Austrian, Basque, Belgian, Bulgarian, Czech, Danish, Dutch (Netherlands), English/Welsh, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Luxembourgian, Maltese, Moldavian, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Scots, Slovakian, Slovenian, Swedish, Swiss Please contact info@redistrictingdatahub.org for more information.
