Under development — library extension. This report is part of the expanded-library work, not the original collection. Source preparation, methods and results are subject to revision.

Provisional eligibility assessment — under development. Deep DiD follow-up: The source fits binary lameduck and its interaction with continuous electoral margin, with state/year effects. A standalone lameduck coefficient is conditional on the interaction normalization, not a generic ATT. Preserve reversible spells and margin controls; no first-adoption recoding. This working assessment is not fully vetted and may change. See the report below for its recorded replication or assessment status. Provisional eligibility log
