59. A hypothetical example shows your formulas are wrong.

The results could have been:

Clinton Optical scan 10,000 10.00%
Obama Optical scan 90,000 90.00%

Clinton Hand-counted 30,000 60.00%
Obama Hand-counted 20,000 40.00%

You can see that your formulas are wrong because 10% + 60% does not equal 100% as your formulas say that (a + c) should.
