Contains information on state legislative election returns from 1967 through 2022. Each of the more than 400,000 observations provides general election return totals for an individual candidate who ran for state legislative office (with some observations for primaries and special election returns in various years). Candidates are uniquely identified and names are standardized. The data includes numerous district, election, and candidate variables. There is also a version of the dataset that has been reshaped so that the unit of analysis is an individual election contest, which is useful for analyzing the proportion of the two-party vote going to Democrats/Republicans.
