84 of 84 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 273. Seven columns: stub plus Total plus the five "Type of election" columns. The footnote marker 1 is on the caption (Fiscal Year 1978 ^1), which is excluded per instructions; no other markers appear in the body. The three "UD cases" cells in the "Expedited elections under 8(b)(7)(C)" column are printed as dash rules (------), transcribed as "". Apparent misprint in the source, transcribed as printed: the "All types, total" block does not equal the sum of the RC/RM/RD/UD blocks in the Stipulated and Expedited columns, and the two discrepancies exactly offset each other. Stipulated Elections: parts sum to 6,198 vs 6,197 printed; Expedited Elections: parts sum to 18 vs 19 printed. Stipulated Eligible voters: parts sum to 357,475 vs 357,458 printed; Expedited Eligible voters: parts sum to 374 vs 391 printed (difference 17 both ways). Stipulated Valid votes: parts sum to 318,114 vs 318,101 printed; Expedited Valid votes: parts sum to 315 vs 328 printed (difference 13 both ways). Every other row sum and column sum in the table reconciles exactly, so the digits as read are well cross-checked. Typesetting shows extra letter-spacing in the stub labels "R C cases" and "U D cases"; transcribed as "RC cases" and "UD cases" to match the other section labels and the table's usage.
