Obviously an error. More than 3 times as many votes cast in the Gubernatorial race than the Presidential race?

22,000+ votes cast in a county that has 27,000+ population? Um, no. Smiley

Most of the "M" counties are messed up.  The Atlas entry order is:

McDowell
Marion
Marshall
Mason
Mercer

But the official SoS sheet goes:

Marion
Marshall
Mason
McDowell
Mercer

And whoever entered the numbers didn't notice.

Good find Smiley

Makes sense. If you could forward this to Dave that'd be great.

There was an issue like this after the Presidential election. McDowell and Mason were mixed up.

Note, alphabetical discrepancies amongst the election reports is quite common, especially how the "Mc" names are ordered.  Historically, Mc is short for Mac and therefore ordered before most Ma names.  Excel does not order names in such a manner, so newer reports typically do not follow the historical precedent.  I have maintained the historical ordering in my spreadsheets, but sometimes may have missed the different ordering of the reports.  Please pay attention to this issue when adding data through contributions.
Thanks,
Dave
