Notes

  1. 1 2 The county figures for Frost add up to 638. The canvass printed in the 1935-36 Blue Book contains a number of misprints in every race, but these cannot be reconciled because the State Archives does not have the original handwritten canvass. Trying to use the semi-official precinct data in the Blue Book does not reconcile the numbers either.
