Analysis of Elections Conducted in Representation Cases Closed, Fiscal Year 1976

p. 242. Structure: 17 columns = stub plus four groups (All R, RC, RM, RD) of four columns each. "Elections conducted" spans all four columns of each group, including "Total elections"; the stub heading "Type of election" spans all three heading levels. Only the first group's fourth column carries the footnote marker ("Resulting in certification 1"); the other three groups print the same heading unmarked. Every "Rerun required" / "Runoff required" line carries a value only in its group's "Resulting in a rerun or runoff" column; all other cells on those lines are dash rules or leader dots and are transcribed as "". In the final section (Expedited—Sec. 8(b)(7)(C)), the RC group's "Rerun required" and "Runoff required" cells are printed as dash rules rather than zeros, so they are "" while the All R, RM and RD groups print explicit 0/1 there. This is consistent with the RC expedited "Resulting in a rerun or runoff" total of 0. No transcription was computed or corrected, but as a check every row and column total in the image adds up exactly (e.g. 60+201+8,638 = 8,899; 7,982+300+617 = 8,899; rerun 151 + runoff 50 = 201), which supports the digit readings. The one slightly soft reading is the All R "Resulting in certification" value for All types, printed as "8, 638"; the column arithmetic confirms 8,638.
