Hi Michael, 

This is an issue that crops up when there are missing values on the treatment variable. You should be able to run cem by adding "if indepvote != ." to the cem call. 

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Matt

Wondering if I could get some feedback on this error message I received running cem:

 Return code 3258
        nonvoid found where void required
        An argument was expected to be void and it is not.


What is this referring to?   

Thanks,
