Candidate votes as printed in the document. “Total” is the document’s total where it prints one, otherwise the sum of the candidate columns. Margin is the leading ticket’s lead in points over the second.
Notes on how this document was read
- Column headers are printed rotated; spelled out from the page image. Pages 2/4/6 hold the first eleven columns, pages 3/5/7 the last three; rows merged by county.
- 2 figures could not be confirmed by two independent readings; where no reading was confirmed the cell is left blank rather than guessed.
Method: scan without row ruling: rows from the county labels (Vision), columns from the x positions of the numbers (Tesseract boxes); each cell's value needs two of Vision / Tesseract / RapidOCR to agree, unsettled cells re-read alone at 2x; otherwise null with all reads kept
