[edit] How many votes?

This article claims Jenness got 52,799 votes in the 1972 election, but the Evelyn Reed article claims Jennesss got 83,380 votes in 1972. How many should it be??

I'm thinking probably a combination of different sources being used, and possibly the total for Jenness actually reflecting the total for both candidates. I'll try and look for the most authoritative numbers, at the library this week if I can. Шизомби 18:17, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
And according to this: U.S. Presidential Elections: Leftist Votes, there is a completely different number: 66,677.Bronks 7/3 2006.
Yup, and 13,878 for Reed and 37,423 for Jenness here http://www.ourcampaigns.com/RaceDetail.html?RaceID=1939 which cites to Congressional Quarterly's Guide to U. S. Elections, second edition. Шизомби 20:47, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Okay, good, thanks. I'll correct the two articles. Bronks 8/3 2006.
