## RDH Date Retrieval
01/31/23

## Sources
The RDH retrieved 2022 runoff election precinct-level results from the Georgia Secretary of State [website] (https://results.enr.clarityelections.com/GA/116564/web.307039/#/summary). The RDH navigated to each county's election results page and clicked "Detail XML", to get the results at the precinct level.

## Notes on Field Names (adapted from VEST):
Columns reporting votes generally follow the pattern: 
One example is:
G16PREDCLI
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.

*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.

Office Codes Used:
USS - U.S. Senate
