to a 2010 Census Block on their Voter File. L2 provided the RDH with a file that has each individual and their corresponding 2020 Census Block, dated 9/28/2021. The RDH joined the L2 Voter File to this 2020 Census Block assignment file. The RDH then aggregated the individual level Voter File to the Census Block level. The RDH then used the 2020 Census Block to VTD Assignment files to aggregate the 2020 Census Block level to the 2020 VTD level. The fields were renamed to fit character length requirements (under 10 chars) for joining to a shapefile. Processing was completed using SQL and Python. 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.
