Notes on how this document was read

The candidate names are printed in a header band above the table (every column is headed 'Total Votes' in the table itself); the column labels were spelled out from the page image in printed order. 'WI' is the write-in column.

Method: scan: pages rendered at 300 dpi, table cells read by Apple Vision (1x and 2x) and Tesseract; unsettled cells re-read alone by Vision, Tesseract and RapidOCR (tools/scan_generic.py, tools/generic_tables.reread_cells); a number is kept only when two engines agree
