Third-party votes in 2012 are tallied only at the county level — that cycle's precinct source records two-party splits; — marks the Other column as not itemized at this grain, not zero.
These Census-place returns are modeled candidate-vote estimates on Census boundaries unless a row explicitly says certified. They are not automatically the official city or town return.
