Notes on how this document was read

Labels are the president's name as printed on the page plus the party column; the running mates are on the '( VICE PRESIDENT …)' lines in page_text. Three name lines Vision misread (Trump's, De La Fuente's wrapped surname, La Riva's) were corrected by eye from the page image; numbers untouched. Page 10 is the 'Candidate Totals for Party' list and is not read.

Method: page image: Vision lines for the text, tallies accepted only when a second engine (Tesseract / RapidOCR) reads the same digits in the same place; each page's county tallies must add up to its printed Total
