2020 Ohio General Election Results and Precinct Boundaries ## RDH Date Retrieval 02/04/2022 ## Sources The RDH retrieved the VEST 2020 general precinct boundary and election results shapefile from [VEST's Harvard Dataverse](https://dataverse.harvard.edu/file.xhtml?fileId=4499012&version=32.0). The RDH retrieved raw 2020 general election results from the Ohio Secretary of State (https://www.sos.state.oh.us/elections/election-results-and-data/) and precinct shapefiles from VEST's Ohio 2020 file linked above. The RDH retrieved Ohio Congressional, State House, and State Senate boundaries from the [Census](https://www.census.gov/geographies/mapping-files/time-series/geo/carto-boundary-file.html). ## Notes on Field Names (adapted from VEST): Columns reporting votes generally follow the pattern: The first character is G for a general election, P for a primary, S for a special, and R for a runoff. Characters 2 and 3 are the year of the election.* Characters 4-6 represent the office type (see list below). Character 7 represents the party of the candidate. Characters 8-10 are the first three letters of the candidate's last name. One example is: G16PREDCLI To fit within the GIS 10 character limit for field names, the naming convention is slightly different for the State Legislature and US House of Representatives. All fields are listed below with definitions.

VEST's original file included the Presidential race election results. In instances where precincts are split across legislative or congressional districts, precincts were intersected with the districts and votes were assigned accordingly. Ohio does not record precinct-level election results for write-in candidates. Registered voter data comes from the Ohio Secretary of State and is included in their election results file. Due to precinct splits, this data is only available in the statewide elections file. Election result totals were compared against those from the Ohio Secretary of State, they matched in every instance except for a difference of 6 total votes in the oh_gen_20_cong_prec.shp file, which is described below in greater detail. For more information on the processing completed, visit our [Github repository](https://github.com/nonpartisan-redistricting-datahub/erj-oh) for Election Result Joins (ERJ) for Ohio. ## Additional Notes ***oh_gen_20_st_prec.shp*** Ohio's State Supreme Court members are elected through non-partisan general elections. In this file, the party that candidates ran in during the partisan primary is listed. * For the column names "SSCK" refers to the candidates running for the seat that had been occupied by Sharon Kennedy and "SSCF" refers to candidates running for the seat that had been occupied by Judith French. ***oh_gen_20_cong_prec.shp*** There are 5 fewer voters for Joel Newby and 1 fewer vote for Steve Stivers in this file than recorded in the official election results. Precinct 049-AGW had these votes recorded for Newby and Stivers, but does not intersect with US Congressional District 15, where Newby and Stivers were candidates. As such, these were probably votes cast at the incorrect precinct. Given our lack of information about where these votes came from and their relatively small impact, they are excluded from the file. ***oh_gen_20_cong_prec.shp*** ***oh_gen_20_sldl_prec.shp*** and ***oh_gen_20_sldu_prec.shp*** In CONG_DIST, SLDL_DIST and SLDU_DIST columns n/a signifies precincts within districts that did not hold races on the given election day or precincts that recorded zero total votes for the Congressional, SLDL or SLDU race.
