Interesting. I wonder if that's a limitation in the data. There's another article on this describing the difference between straight, split, and mixed-ticket voting, where "split" is "straight with exceptions": enter text
Assuming the article above is accurate, that would mean split and mixed ticket voting both fall under the non-straight section of your data, in a way we can't differentiate.
Or, maybe the articles I've found are just wrong? I don't think the rules could've changed at the last minute, because IIRC people were already voting by the publication date of the article above.
redid the analysis in python - including the parsing of the CSVs same results! need to try this on more counties
got something very interesting. i ran my "new" analysis on biden data and trump data for same county.. totally different results. this plot shows the scatter plot x axis is overall fraction candidate votes; y axis is fraction of each type (straight / individual). 2 sets of dots (blue is straight, red is indiv.)
left plot is biden right is trump

totally different results.
I see what you mean. My guess is that if you do split or mixed, it automatically assigns the votes to all the individual race tallies and does not tally in the straight party sheet.
I don't have any first hand knowledge, but another comment on this post said they observed the machine rejecting ballots that selected both a straight party and another down ballot. So maybe it's not properly implemented everywhere.
In any case, the data they publish doesn't account for it, so if it is allowed it must be compensated the way I describe or else there would be double counts.
