Issue 4: Error in data import when calculating win/loss

Alex,

Was the "win/loss" variable imported from the CQ database? It seems like something is wrong with this one. For instance, take a look at Bernard Sanders (VT). There is an indication that the independent candidate (which he is) won the plurality of votes in his elections, but he is listed as "loss." What do you think happened there? Is it a CQ problem?

My response to Dr. C:

-The win/loss issue was not from the CQ data.  The value of that field was calculated upon data import.  I haven't found exactly where or why the error occurred, but that's irrelevant for fixing the existing data (obviously, it will need to be fixed if the import script will be used again in the future).  I haven't changed anything yet, but fixing the existing data should be a simple matter of comparing the values in the db.
