changed *after* certification.
I posted asking if this was typical -- here is my Original Post
**
I have all the district numbers from after the election -- taken maybe 4 or 5 days after from the Ohio SOS site, when I started a spreadsheet for some comparisons.
I also have numbers but not whole spreadsheets) of certified numbers of just a few categories (used it when I was first looking at precinct data) taken after the SOS website was updated with the Official certification numbers. Tonight I noticed that some of these numbers have changed from the certification, including # of registered voters. Is that typical? Is it just that they invalidated people who were "registered" and that's why these numbers changed?
I guess since the number of registered voters went down, but the number of votes cast went up (by a hair) it just didn't make sense to me. It's not a big deal - I'm just curious if anyone wants to explain it...
Thanks!
