Changes in Unofficial Vote Totals

The State Board of Elections has created a downloadable spreadsheet that details all adjustments to the vote totals for the Nov. 5 election.

These changes reflect corrections to typos, incomplete results reported on election night and the tabulation of provisional ballots. The document provides a window on what it takes to check and re-check the results provided on election night by thousands of part-time election officials from around the state,

Some entries make it clear how the changes affect the outcome; others do not. There are scores of entries. Below are the first 14 related to the Attorney General's race:
