5. Those are still averages though. We are talking about a county with both a large rural and urban population

There are going to be dramatically smaller precincts that will create a substantial imbalance between percentage of precincts and percentage of votes. They are not even remotely the same thing.

I'm not an expert by any means but have spent some time working for the registrar of voters. I can assure you that precincts are not even close to equal in population depending on where they are located. So trying to determine how many votes are left by percentage of precincts alone -without knowing where exactly they are, makes no sense.
