Description The official total for Penobscot County in the document linked above grossly understates the actual vote in said county. The official vote of all candidates in said county adds up to 2,279 votes. The municipality totals of said county for all candidates, provided in the same document linked above, add up to 8,808 votes. This total is generally much closer to the amount of votes this county usually cast in this time period, and is thus used here.
