40. In Cuyagoha, this would be a tough configuration for which to calculate

miscounts, because the Cuyahoga counting program provided no tallies of votes for Disqualified. The text file whose URL I provided in post #18 has a column of zeros for Disqualified, and a DUer in contact with the BOE Director in Cuyahoga verified that getting such counts would ential reprogramming and re-counting.

Do your data have precinct-level counts for "Disqualified"? If so, I've derived formulas that can estimate the total miscount for the county under reasonable statistical assumptions, and then allocate the miscount fairly to the candidates likely to have lost them.
