p. 301. Eight columns: stub plus "Objections filed", "Objections withdrawn", "Objections ruled upon", and the two-column spans "Overruled" and "Sustained^2" (each Number / Percent of total ruled upon). The stub has no printed heading. The scan has dropped most small marks (the dots over the letter i are missing throughout, e.g. "Objectıons", "Sustaıned"), so the decimal points in the percent columns do not render: they appear as "75 5", "100 0", "24 5", etc. These are percentages carried to one decimal place and I have transcribed them with the decimal point ("75.5", "100.0"). The marker after "Sustained" in the top heading level is a raised 2, but the footnote text for marker 2 is not visible in this crop; only footnote 1 appears, and its line is clipped by the bottom edge of the crop (legible as "1 See Glossary for definitions of terms", terminal period assumed). Footnote marker 1 also appears on the caption, which is not transcribed. A small vertical brace-like mark sits just right of "367" in the "Objections filed" column of the "Stipulated elections" row; I read it as a scan artifact, not a digit or footnote marker. "Regional director-directed elections" is printed over two lines with an end-of-line hyphen in "elec- tions" and is joined here. Sustained percentages for the "By type of case" block sum with the overruled percentages to 100.0 as printed; no values were computed or corrected.
