p. 234. Eight columns: stub plus "Objections filed", "Objections withdrawn", "Objections ruled upon", and Number/Percent pairs under the spanner headings "Overruled" and "Sustained^2". The stub heading cell is blank apart from a small stray scanner mark (a short tick near the center), which I have not transcribed as text. Decimal points in the percent columns are printed very faintly in this scan and in most cells read as a gap (e.g. "66 4", "33 9", "100 0"); the final row's "67.9" shows its point clearly. I have transcribed all of them as decimal points, which is consistent with the printed column heading ("Percent") and with every value being reproducible from the Number and "ruled upon" columns in the same row. The Percent cell for "Expedited elections" under Sustained is a dash rule, transcribed as "". "Regional director-directed elections" is printed on two lines (hyphen break after "director-"); joined into one label. In footnote 2 the sentence-ending periods are faint or dropped in the scan ("...were sustained In 120..."); I have transcribed them as periods. The digits "120" and "109" in that footnote are legible as written, though the statement sits oddly against the 335 sustained objections in the body; transcribed as printed without correction. Internal checks all agree with the printed figures: the Overruled and Sustained numbers sum to "Objections ruled upon" in every row, the three case-type rows and the five election-type rows each sum to the "All representation elections" line, and every printed percent matches its row's ratio.
