Note 1: A "Candidate Day" is a day on which a candidate/prospective candidate does a campaign-related event in the state (this definition does not include overnights where a candidate arrives late and does no campaign-related events on a day or days where the candidate leaves early in the next morning without doing any events).  If a candidate does an event or events in the state, crosses the border and goes out of state for events and then comes back in state the same day, it is counted as the same visit.  However, if a candidate overnights out of state, two visits are counted.
