MEDSL is missing State Senate candidate Hugh Palcic. Harvard and Baltz et. al are missing Green party presidential candidate Howie Hawkins. Vote totals of all three sources match, except for some undervote entries that are off by a few. Baltz et. al matches the official returns.

Once State Senate candidate Hugh Palcic is added, recommendation is to use MEDSL data.

Oregon is one of the states that let's candidates declare for multiple parties, or at least that's how they appear in the CVRs. Hugh Palcic is an example of this, he appears as Undetermined, Democrat, and Independent in the data (actually as three separate columns). Only Undetermined Hugh Palcic receives any votes, so this is the "correct" one that we should be counting.

MEDSL labeled each different Hugh as the listed party, whereas we should probably label them as their main party. I've gone through and fixed this throughout Oregon for some other candidates as well, so just pending build now.
