Hi again :)

One additional thing to flag: it appears that candidatevotes across candidates do not sum to the totalvotes in a few FIPS codes in VA: 51760, 51770, 51515, 51019, 51059, 51067, 51600, 51620, 51159, 51161. Should this be the case? Looks like the totalvotes field is the total votes for the county name, but there are a few distinct FIPS codes in VA with the same county name listed here. (i.e. "Richmond" and "Richmond City" FIPS both listed as "Richmond".) I don't believe this was an issue in previous versions of the dataset!

Perhaps this is intentional, but wanted to flag as it may be slightly confusing!

Thanks again!
