Reader’s notes

p. 233. Twelve columns: stub, "Total elections" (a tall single heading spanning both heading levels), then five Number/Percent pairs. The stub has no printed heading, so cell 0 is empty in both heading rows. Decimal points: in this scan the period in most percent values is faint or dropped, so the percents print as "9 5", "3 1", "12 0", etc.; a few (e.g. "8. 0", "6. 3" in the last two rows) show the period plainly. These are one-decimal percentages, so I have written them all with a decimal point ("9.5", "12.0"). Every one is consistent with the printed Number divided by the printed Total elections, which confirms the decimal placement. In the "Expedited elections" row, the Percent cells under "Challenges only", "Objections and challenges" and "Total challenges" hold a dash rule (------), transcribed as ""; the corresponding Number cells hold a printed 0. "Regional director-directed elections" is one row whose label wraps onto two printed lines; the hyphen in "director-directed" is internal to the line, not an end-of-line break. No footnotes or source line are printed under the table. No arithmetic problems found: the three "By type of case" rows and the five "By type of election" rows each sum to the "All representation elections" line in every count column (8,317; 793; 258; 204; 997; 462).
