  1. 1 See Glossary for definitions of terms.
  2. 2 See table 11E for rerun elections held after objections were sustained. In 20 elections in which objections were sustained, the cases were subsequently withdrawn. Therefore, in these cases no rerun elections were conducted.

43 of 43 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.

Reader’s notes

p. 279. The scan has lost nearly every period and i-dot in the image (row labels read "representatıon", "Stıpulated", etc.), so decimal points in the percent columns appear as blank space: the image shows "80 3", "19 7", "79 7", "88 9", "84 9", "70 8", "80 5", "80 0", "82 4", "17 6", "36 4", "63 6" and so on. I have restored these as decimal points (80.3, 19.7, ...) because each Overruled/Sustained percent pair sums to exactly 100.0, confirming one decimal place. The same lost-period artifact appears at the sentence ends in both footnotes; periods there are restored as well. Column structure: 8 columns. The stub column carries no printed heading. "Overruled" spans the Number and Percent columns beneath it, and "Sustained" (with a raised 2 footnote marker) spans its own Number and Percent columns; the first three value columns are tall single headings spanning both heading levels. All arithmetic in the table is internally consistent as transcribed: the RC/RM/RD rows and the five election-type rows each sum to the "All representation elections" line in every value column (1,281 filed; 225 withdrawn; 1,056 ruled upon; 848 overruled; 208 sustained). No suspected misprints. A stray leader dot or two survives to the right of the "Consent elections", "Stipulated elections" and "Expedited elections" labels; these are leader dots, not data, and have been dropped.
