Notes
- The House Journal gives Pierce's total as 26,723 but this is clearly a typo.
- Since Pierce ran ahead of Galloway statewide, all margins are Lord over Pierce unless otherwise noted.
- Lord's margin over Galloway
- The House Journal gives 558 but this appears to be a typo.
- Galloway's margin over Lord
- The House Journal gives 10 but this appears to be a typo.
