But yes, it's a bit piecemeal, and some states have far better tracking systems for the candidate filings than others. | |||

AZ Phoenix CO Denver GA Atlanta IN Indianapolis MD Annapolis MO Jefferson City NM Santa Fe TN Nashville TX Austin VA Richmond WA Olympia WI Madison Hard to nail down one, but I'd say my likes are: Austin, Santa Fe, Madison Mostly because they are walkable cities with lost of interesting food and museum near the capital areas. Least favorite would be Denver, Jefferson City, Phoenix All for different reasons, but mostly because I didn't find those cities fun around the capital. Jefferson City is kind of a small dead city to be honest. Not much going on there but capital bizness. | |||

Also notable that he sometimes chooses a building in the capital and not the actual state capitol. | |||

Here is my visited list: CO, DE, IL, IN, ME, MA, MT, NJ, NM, NC, OH, PA, RI, WV You can find free parking right outside the state capitol building in Springfield, Illinois. I don't think I have been to another state capitol with plenty of free parking right there. The state capitol in Raleigh was built with gray stone, and for some reason I always feel that it is dirty or dank. I used to like the Pennsylvania state capitol building. Then I found out that during construction, a lot of the money allocated for it ended up in the pockets of politicians. [Silas Swallow discovered this.] One day I was in Trenton for research, and Gov. Jim McGreevey was holding a press conference on the sidewalk right outside the state capitol. I often wish that I had stopped to chat with him. | |||

If anybody is willing to do me this favor then I am more than grateful. To put it simple I have been checking out a few early House results, and in some cases due to insufficient records the winners of the elections had less votes than the opponents, resulting in negative margins. When I tried to set a specific date to check out all of the House races in that time period by clicking the "House" button, because the site's mechanism is sort of incompatible with showing negative values in the margin column, having a race with a negative margin simply disables me from viewing all races whose tenures overlapped with that of the problematic election by using that "House" function. Therefore, if anyone with access to editing — a privilege I desire but don't have — is willing to help me out by fixing these negative margins, it will mean a lot to me. You could simply give the winner one vote and the opponent(s) zero to put the former over the top. As to the incomplete data, you could incorporate that into the description section of the race rather than actual data entry. The two races I hope to receive assistance with are SC-08 in the 1812 House elections and OH-05 in the 1820 House elections. The links to them are the following: SC-08 (1812): [Link] OH-05 (1820): [Link] This will benefit my research and work profoundly and save me a lot of time from viewing each race individually. Much obliged to whoever's willing to assist me. | ||||

Also, who are these Pennsylvanians that think they are mid-westerners? | |||
BrentinCO: Also, who are these Pennsylvanians that think they are mid-westerners?
People on the western side of the Appalachians, I assume. | ||||

BrentinCO: I find this map interesting. I never considered myself a mid-westerner when I lived in Colorado. Maybe folks on the border of Colorado and Kansas do, but that's pretty sketchy to me still.
East of the Front Range cities the land, economy, and people are as Midwestern as Kansas and Nebraska. | |||

CA Pol Junkie: East of the Front Range cities the land, economy, and people are as Midwestern as Kansas and Nebraska.
Actually that makes a lot of sense. People who work the land or participate in the economy most associated with the mid-west probably consider themselves mid-westerners. Farming, Cattle, Resources, etc. Although for Colorado I never participated in any of that and Colorado is changing. Perhaps that's why I never considered myself mid-western and didn't associate from Colorado who would consider themselves mid-western. While there is a big farm, ranch, and resource economy on the eastern plans of Colorado; there is also high-tech (Denver-Boulder), military (Colorado Springs), and finance (Denver-Colorado Springs). If I was to put Colorado in a regional category it would have been Rocky Mountain. I'd probably put Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana in that. Pennsylvania I would probably place in Mid-atlantic or North-east. | |||

Thanks! | |||

It should be noted that We have three Lower houses with the name of State Assembly (Wisconsin, California, New York) Nevada's is actually just "the Assembly" We Also have the New Jersey General Assembly and three states (Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia) that call their lower house the house of delegates. So I'd like to propose that we fix the st. rep positions in these Staters. We can keep the position as the same but we can add the titles down below so that it corresponds correctly because in those states they aren't technically State Reps. As well only 10 states actually have "State Senates" The other 40 are just known as the Senate. The State Senates are California, New York, Connecticut, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Louisiana, Mississippi, Utah and Washington. Obviously it's quite an undertaking but I'm willing to work on it. | |||
