| 68. The denominator is a percentage is always one hundred. |

Lets look down one row. Only scanned ballots for Hillary and scanned ballots for Obama are counted. Together, the total percentage of Hillary scanned ballots and Obama's percentage of scanned ballots must equal 100% or all the scanned ballots.
Your hypothetical example has the total of scanned ballots 25% + 82.18% which = 107.8%. It has to equal 100%. That's all the ballots and no more.
The conspiracy theory calculation only has two categories of scanned votes - scanned votes for Obama and scanned votes for Hillary. So the percentages must add up to 100%, not 107.8%.
