Reader’s notes
p. 258. Nine columns: stub plus four two-column panels (Number / Percent by type). The stub heading is blank at both heading levels. Decimal points: this scan drops or renders very faintly the decimal point in many percentage cells — e.g. "100 0" in most rows of the Total-reruns percent column, "33 8" for All representation elections / Union certified Percent, and "33 3" for RD cases / Union certified Percent. Every percentage in this table is printed to one decimal place, and the points are visible elsewhere in the same columns (31.9, 68.1, 85.7, etc.), so these have been transcribed with the decimal point. Several cells also show a typesetting space after the point ("100. 0", "66. 2", "29. 8"), closed up per the convention. Blank percent cells: RD cases / Outcome-of-original-election-reversed Percent, and the Union-certified Percent and Outcome Percent cells for Expedited elections and Board-directed elections are printed as a dash rule and are given as "". The footnote marker on the "Total reruns elections" heading is a small raised digit that could be read as 2 or 3; only footnotes 1 and 2 are printed, and footnote 2 is about rerun elections, so it is recorded as ^2. The marker 1 appears on the table caption (excluded from this output) and footnote 1 is still listed. "Regional director-directed elections" is one row whose label wraps over two printed lines and is joined here; its values are printed on the second line. Arithmetic as printed is internally consistent (e.g. 151 = 51 + 100; 141 = 45 + 96); no suspected misprints in the values themselves.
