Notes

  1. The Secretary of State's data dashboard gives this figure as 31, but this causes Dunlap's county figures to not add up to the stated total. The digitized version of the 1900 abstract of votes is of below average quality and some numbers are cut off. For scans of older printed documents, it is very easy to mistake 4s for 1s if the scan is of low quality. The actual figure being 34 is backed up by newspaper reports from late November 1900.
