33 of 33 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 306. Nine 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 header levels is empty. Decimal points: this is a coarse 1-bit scan and the period drops out of many percent figures, which print as e.g. \"41 0\", \"100 0\", \"55 4\", \"72 6\", \"40 4\", \"54 9\", \"43 8\", \"50 0\", \"2 3\", \"2 9\", \"6 2\". Every value in these columns is a one-decimal percent (neighbouring cells in the same columns do show the period clearly), so I have written the decimal point in every such cell. Every row's three percents sum to 100.0 and every row's three counts sum to the Total count on that reading, which confirms the digits and the decimal placement; no cell required any other repair. Row label \"By type of elction\" is printed that way on the page — an apparent misprint for \"election\" (the parallel line above reads \"By type of case\"). Transcribed as printed. \"By type of case.\" is followed by a single low dot; it may be a period or the lower half of a colon whose upper dot did not survive the scan. I have written it as a period. The \"By employer\" heading carries a small stray tick to the right of the word, and a short stray mark sits under \"By union\". Both look like scan speckle rather than footnote markers, so neither is transcribed as a marker. Dash rules (leader-style \"-------\") stand in the \"By both parties\" percent column for Consent elections and Expedited elections, and in the \"By employer\" percent column for Expedited elections; all three are given as \"\". The counts beside them are printed zeros and are kept as 0. The caption's footnote marker 1 and the caption itself are omitted per instructions. The marker on footnote 2 is poorly inked and resembles a 3 or a currency glyph, but it pairs with the \"By both parties^2\" heading and is read as 2.
