Notes on how this document was read
- Secondary source: County results compiled by Tony McGovern from news-media election-night tallies (Fox News, Politico, The New York Times); not a certified state document.
Method: Machine-readable dataset; county sums checked against the state totals in The American Presidency Project summary (within 0.5% for both main tickets).
Town resultsCertified
Not shown: the figures read from this document do not match the summary table (Others: document 13,236 vs 15,608), so the statewide figures above are used instead. Check the original document for town detail.
Notes on how this document was read
- Rows are towns and city wards (unit rows); the county TOTALS lines are row_kind county_total and the Summary By Counties rows row_kind county, both compared in checks.county_totals.
- The workbook has only the three ballot candidates; UCSB's Others (15,608) is 2,372 above Jorgensen (13,236): the write-in / scattering votes are not in this file, so the answer-key check cannot match on Others.
- Coos County lists unincorporated places with 0 votes; kept as printed.
Method: spreadsheet cells (xlrd, values only); labels and numbers as stored in the workbook
