Notes

edit
  1. ^ The stated total for McMillin is 36,460 but it's noted on the original canvass that the county figures add up to 36,470, so it seems likely the former figure is a mistake
  2. ^ Based on totals for highest elector on each ticket
  3. ^ Based on highest elector on each ticket
  4. ^ a b c d Margin over Weaver
