Notes on how this document was read
  • Each presidential ticket is a block (party, presidential candidate, vice-presidential candidate, electors) with the 15 counties and TOTAL as columns; the figures are printed on the vice-presidential line.
  • The vice-presidential line of each block carries the county figures; it is located under the presidential line and its numbers are taken.
  • Where a block's row has fewer settled numbers than the 16 columns (an engine disagreement on one cell), the settled numbers are placed under their columns by position and only the unsettled cell is null.
  • 14 figures could not be confirmed by two independent readings; where no reading was confirmed the cell is left blank rather than guessed.
