May Issue of NCSL's "The Canvass" Now Available

See here.

Maybe Kim can help me out here... This issue of The Canvass has a factoid that says:

"10,072 - That’s the number of jurisdictions in the United States that conduct elections. It includes 50 states, 3,140 counties and 5,312 townships. (Thanks to Election Data Services for this information.)"

If I add those numbers up, I get 8,502; 1,570 less than 10,072... what am I missing? And are there distinct election administrations for each of these? best, Joe
