## Additional Notes

Files were checked against Republican and Democratic official election results files also available from the Alabama Secretary of State. Results matches exactly except for in the instances below.

For the following counties and candidates, we were unable to account for vote total discrepancies between the precinct-level results and the state-level results.

In some instances, we believe the discrepancy is likely due to a data entry error or typo. Since we are unable to determine whether the discrepancy originated at the county or state level, we have chosen to leave the precinct-level results unaltered in the following cases.
