Notes on how this document was read
- Poor scan: Vision read two candidate names as 'Canal, B. Haris' and 'BArma Patel'; the labels were corrected by eye from the page image (Joseph R. Biden Jr.; Brian Carroll). The numbers were read by two agreeing engines and were not changed.
- 1 figure could not be confirmed by two independent readings; where no reading was confirmed the cell is left blank rather than guessed.
Method: page image read by Apple Vision (lines), Tesseract (words) and RapidOCR (lines); a number is kept when two engines read the same digits in the same place
