NOTE: “The data shown in these Voting Reports over the course of the Election are unofficial and subject to change.  It should be noted that the counting of ballots does not end on Election Day as it takes time to ensure the ballots of all eligible voters are counted.  Likewise, there are a variety of administrative matters that impact the information in the Voter Reports.  These include but are not limited to canceled, invalidated, and cured ballots.”
