Data user notes:

Note 1. Discrepancies in the reported totals in the Statewide Database vote method files: absentees, mailballot and poll voters.

The reporting of the forced vote-by-mail ballots and vote-by-mail ballots cast by choice by absentee voters varies by county and election with some counties reporting forced vote-by-mail ballots
separately from the vote-by-mail ballots cast by absentee voters. Other counties report all of their vote-by-mail ballots as one without distinguishing between forced and 
absentee vote-by-mail ballots; or they report their forced vote-by-mail voters as precinct voters resulting in them being reported in the Statewide Database's poll voters file.
