34 of 34 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 181. 9 columns: stub plus four two-column panels (Total, By employer, By union, By both parties), each with Number and "Percent by type". The stub has no printed heading, so cell 0 of both heading levels is empty. The footnote marker 1 on the caption ("Fiscal Year 1971 1") is not carried into the grid, since captions are excluded; the raised 2 on "By both parties" is kept. In the "By both parties / Percent by type" column, the RM cases and Expedited elections cells hold only a dash rule (-------), transcribed as "". Both rows show 0 in the corresponding Number cell. All printed figures are internally consistent: row components sum to the Total column and the three percent-by-type values sum to 100 in every data row (Board-directed elections 29.2 + 54.2 + 16.6 = 100.0, where 4/24 is printed truncated as 16.6); RC + RM + RD = 1,155 and the five election types also sum to 1,155. Scan quality: the 1-bit scan renders many 5s with a broken upper bar (e.g. 1,155; 750; 65.1; 2.5; the 5 under "By union" for Expedited elections). These were read as 5 and all are confirmed by the row arithmetic. Two stray ink specks sit in the "By employer / Number" column left of 358 and in the "By union / Number" column left of 18; they are not digits or markers.
