William M. Morgan[edit]

The William M. Morgan links at the bottom of the page direct to the incorrect William M. Morgan. It does not seem there is a page for the correct Mr. Morgan. What is the policy on these links? Should the brackets be simply removed, removing the link? --DangApricot (talk) 02:17, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question on 1984 results[edit]

Had a question regarding the vote totals of the 1984 results listed in the table.

Incumbent Lyle Williams is listed as having 105,449, which certainly makes sense, given he's an incumbent, but doesn't match the total vote count in the FEC's document of 1984 Federal Election Results (Page 98 of the following link: https://www.fec.gov/resources/cms-content/documents/federalelections84.pdf)

The results listed in the FEC reports are no doubt wrong - the vote totals add up not to 230,661 total, but to 174,147, whereas the numbers listed on this page do add up to the total vote count listed on the FEC document. Traficant's total vote count is the same both on this page and in the document.

I don't doubt the validity of the numbers here, but I'm wondering where Lyle Williams' correct vote total was found. I've personally tried to dig up the numbers myself, but have not had luck yet.

I apologize if this isn't the right forum for this, but found it worth noting. MikeyX58 (talk) 19:11, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
