Question about the early electoral vote

Sixty nine of the sixty nine electors voted for Washington, or sixty nine of the 138 votes cast.

Shouldn't that be either 50% or 100% of the electoral vote? How does one get 85.2%?

You mean twelve people didn't vote for a second person?

Since no elector can vote for the same person twice, all 69 must have voted for at least Washington, right?

Ah, okay. So 81 electors should have been appointed, then?
