election statistics without the spin

The total number of eligible voters on the levy question was 357,125.
total votes cast 20,865
for the mill levy 12,505 (60%)
against the mill levy 8,360 (40%)
all according to bernco.gov

according to my handheld

% of voters who voted 6% (.0584249)

% of voters who voted for the mill levy 4% (.0350157)

% of voters who voted against the mill levy 2% (.0234091)

% of voters who did not vote on the mill levy because they
do not care or because the elections were "discreet" 94%

it was reported by aps/media that the issue passed by 60%...

which statistic do you think, if you had to pick just one,
most represents the truth?
