Reader’s notes
p. 191. Ten columns: stub plus four under "Number of elections" and five under "Number of employees involved (number eligible to vote)". The footnote marker 1 is attached to "Elections" in the caption only (caption omitted per instructions); no marker appears on any heading, label or value in the grid. Section-label punctuation: "1-union election:" ends in a clear colon (and the noun is printed singular, "election", unlike the plural in the next section head). The corresponding mark after "2-union elections" images as a single low dot rather than a colon; it is transcribed as printed ("2-union elections.") but is most likely a degraded/broken colon, not a period and not a leader dot. Cells rendered "" in the two "won by—" pairs hold a printed dash rule (------), not a blank, in: AFL-CIO and AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO (Unaffiliated unions columns, both panels); Unaffiliated and Unaffiliated v. Unaffiliated (AFL-CIO affiliates columns, both panels). Arithmetic check (no corrections made, all consistent as printed): every detail row's components sum to its row total in both halves, and every column of the six detail rows sums to the printed "Total" row — e.g. 2,565+1,487+2,819=6,871 and 172,415+93,332+223,618=489,365. This cross-check independently confirms the digits and the column each value sits in. The "Total valid votes cast" column is not expected to tie to the eligible-voter totals and does not.
