Notes on how this document was read
  • The text layer breaks some numbers into pieces ('2 96', '1 ,395'); pieces that nearly touch are re-joined. The 'Scatter' column is empty on the summary page; the page's note says write-in votes are not in TOTALS*.
  • Page 2 (write-in votes by county; rotated headers transcribed from the page image) is merged in as 16 more columns; the UCSB total (744,296) equals the five tickets plus these write-ins (12,029).
  • Only the county level is read; the town tables (Belknap on page 1, write-ins by town on pages 3-18) are in the document.

Method: text layer: words grouped by baseline (pdfplumber), numeric tokens taken as the row's values under the spec's column labels; each row's digits matched against PyMuPDF's words (second extraction)
