Election results

I found that the election results recited on this page were both inaccurate and (in some instances) self-contradictory. Furthermore, the source of the information was a now-defunct link that apparently contained unofficial election results. I have cleaned them up. I have hidden the section on county-by-county election results until I or some other editor has time to clean them up. I have tagged a few columns of data as dubious because my corrections drew the accuracy of those data into question. SunCrow (talk) 00:27, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Dairyfarmer777, thanks again for working on this. May I ask which figures you used in coming up with each candidate's percentage of the vote? I came up with different percentages than you did. I used the figures at http://www.elections.ny.gov/NYSBOE/elections/2014/general/2014Governor.pdf. For example, for Gov. Cuomo, I calculated as follows: 2,069,480 Cuomo votes divided by 3,924,990 total votes equals 52.73%. You came up with 54.19%. SunCrow (talk) 04:03, 20 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, so that's why it didn't add up to 100% because the sourced total takes into account the void and blank ballots, an extra 105,000 nonvote voters. I noticed the total on the page didn't add up to 3,924,990. The 2006 and 2010 seem to follow a trend of adding up only the counted votes for the percentages. I'm not sure I should break that trend and edit all the further past elections. I notice the voter turnout stat is unsourced, using the site 2010 uses shows 28.2%.
