Talk:United States presidential election, 1912 (Reign of Roosevelt)

I have to ask the reason the way the votes were split, as in

1. a socialist getting 2nd place

2. Wilson winning 4662 votes and getting 5%

3. Byran and the others spliting from their parties

4. Byran getting over 300,000 votes and being listed as 1.4%

All of these are immensely confusing and it would help if clairified.
