A data set for 1980 Presidential election results covering 3,107 US counties using geographical coordinates. In addition, three spatial neighbour objects, k4
not using Great Circle distances, dll
using Great Circle distances, and e80_queen
of Queen contiguities for equivalent County polygons taken from file co1980p020.tar.gz
on the USGS National Atlas site, and a spatial weights object imported from elect.ford
- a 4-nearest neighbour non-GC row-standardised object, but with coercion to symmetry.
