(b) If a signer has signed more than once, subtract all but one otherwise valid signature;
(c) Subtract all signatures that were found to be ineligible by the county recorder or found to be ineligible by the city clerk that were not previously subtracted;
(d) After determining the percentage of all signatures found to be invalid in the random sample, subtract a like percentage from those signatures remaining after all previous subtractions have been performed.
