In the 2016 Fulton County general precinct file, and from what I can tell in all the other county precinct files as well, the "party" filed is missing data for a lot of the races, and for other races the formatting is inconsistent. Some races list the party a "D" & "R" while others as "Dem" & "Rep", with some having a stray "(" before the name.
