Current Build — Review & Decisions

The four tags are built into PartyAffiliation_Pulls_Working.xlsx per your sign-off. This doc records what's in the build, the one thing the verification turned up that needs your call, and a couple of smaller confirmations. Tick, comment, export — that's the next instruction.

What's in the build (for reference)

Every category sheet now has four tag columns — Recency · Drop-Off · Swapper · Engaged. There's a new Tag Definitions sheet (formulas + counts), linked from the Summary, and a "Back to Summary" button on every sheet. The Confirmation tab carries the Category column plus the same four tags. Verified: no voter falls into more than one of Recency / Drop-off / Swapper.

A. The tags don't nest perfectly under the categories needs your call

Per decision 6, the tags read only the ten standard primary dates, but the categories read all primary history. So ~600 voters carry a tag under an "unexpected" category — because they have a partisan ballot on a date outside the ten (a 2000–2006 primary, or an odd-year/special primary). The tag says "clean on the regular calendar lately"; the category says "once pulled that party, ever." Both are true; they measure different spans.

Tag	Mostly sits in	Also appears in
Recent Independent (1,848)	Independent (1,792)	Solid Dems 15 · Solid Reps 40 · Mixed 1
Drop-off Independent (725)	Independent (689)	Solid Dems 12 · Solid Reps 23 · Mixed 1
Recent Democrat (4,800)	Solid Dems (4,747)	Mixed 53
Recent Republican (12,571)	Solid Reps (12,462)	Mixed 109
Drop-off Democrat (7,662)	Solid Dems (7,419)	Mixed 243
Drop-off Republican (12,749)	Solid Reps (12,579)	Mixed 170

Keep as-is — ten-date tags; the small cross-category bleed is fine Switch the "clean before" test to all primary history — tags nest cleanly under categories; "Recent" means never pulled that party before, ever

B. L and G are handled differently in tags than in categories

Your categories fold Libertarian → Republican and Green → Independent. The tags, as built, use strict D / R / X and ignore L and G. Effect: an L-only voter is "Solid Reps" by category but would not earn a Recent/Drop-off Republican tag. Population is tiny — 396 active L voters, 86 active G — but it's an inconsistency worth a conscious choice.

Keep strict D / R / X in the tags (as built) Fold L→R and G→I in the tags too, to match the categories

C. Engaged is large and spans every category as you approved

Engaged = voted in every general 2008–2024 = 32,721, and it stacks across all seven categories (e.g., 358 Strong Dems, 4,186 Solid Dems, 17,304 Solid Reps, 7,609 Mixed, 657 Independent, 286 NonPartisan, the rest Strong Reps). This matches your decision 2 + your note that Engaged reads general-election turnout, independent of party. Flagging only so you can eyeball the size and confirm.

D. Lock the current build as the working version?

If A–C are all "keep/confirm," the workbook is done as-is. If you chose a change above, I'll apply it before locking.

Approve — lock it as the working version Hold — apply the change(s) I selected above first
