32 of 32 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 192. The table has 11 printed columns: the stub plus two five-column panels with different headings ("Elections in which a representative was redesignated" and "Elections resulting in decertification"), so it is transcribed as one wide grid rather than as stacked panels. Decimal points in the percent columns: the scan renders them unevenly. "85. 7" and "86. 2" show a clear period; "91 2", "90 6", "93 2", "92 6", "84 1" and "85 1" show only a gap where the period has dropped out in the halftone. All are one-decimal percentages and each one matches the ratio of the two preceding columns (e.g. 4,762/5,223 = 91.2), so I have written them all with a decimal point. Row label "AFL-CIO v. Unaffiliated": the period after "v" is very faint in the scan and reads almost as a space; I have transcribed it as "v.". The affiliation names are printed with an en dash ("AFL–CIO"), written here with a hyphen. Possible stray marks, neither transcribed as content: (1) a small blot sits just below "valid votes" in the "Percent casting valid votes" heading of the decertification panel — it may be a footnote marker, but no footnotes are printed beneath the table, so I read it as a speck; (2) a small dot appears in the Total row near the rule between "Votes cast for losing union" and "Votes cast for no union", just left of 4,572 — it is not a digit and not aligned with either column's figures. Arithmetic check (no corrections made): every column's three component rows sum exactly to the printed Total, and every printed percent matches its panel's valid-votes/eligible ratio.
