The problem is pretty clearly with the dem "early vote" figure. As I noted earlier, the precinct is close in registration, which is reflected in the absentee ( GOP's usually vote more absentee) and in the regular votes. I still lean toward a data entry glitch, or possibly an early voting site or sites that misallocated votes to this precinct (coding error so that votes by early dems elsewhere got dumped into this precinct line)and, hopefully, disappeared from elsewhere!)

As to the number differences, Independents (about 10%) can't vote in the party primaries, but could vote on the initiative. As to the "undervote" that you think might mean a person went and voted on nothing (which could happen just be being really dumb), if some people voted for candidates but not the initiaitve (didn't care, or didn't understand it) and a few others voted on the initiative but not candidates (independents per above, plus a lot of folk in both parties who favored "None of the Above") you could easily have individual race totals well under the total number of voters and yet everbody voted on SOMETHING. Keep digging!
