:The few elections that are not in those sources (or the more modern Statements of Vote on the Secretary of State's web site) either came from Our Campaigns (http://www.ourcampaigns.com/ContainerDetail.html?ContainerID=1), archived versions of LP.org, old issues of [[LP News]], or the [[Richard Winger Vote Total Archive]]. Of those, LP News is the least reliable, followed by LP.org, followed by ourcampaigns. The Richard Winger data is the most reliable of the unofficial sources.

OK -- the reason I asked is that I have been looking at the Statements of Vote for some details of the races in Santa Clara County, and I am finding some differences from what you posted. Not a lot of them, but enough that I thought it worth checking. Differences ''could'' either be due to mistakes in transferring from an official source to one of those secondary sources that you used -- or it could be that there was a correction of some kind later in time (so that the ''original'' official source, though "official", is no longer the ''latest'' official source). However, in the cases I have run into so far, the differences can be very easily explained as transcription errors. Given that, and the fact that it sounds like you were mostly using secondary sources, I am going to assume that it is the number from the Statement of Vote that is the correct one, and update the page accordingly. But if you have some specific evidence that the Statement of Vote number was later corrected in these particular cases, please feel free to change them back -- with some sort of note here explaining why so they don't get corrected back again. | |||
