Reader’s notes
p. 202. The scan has dropped nearly all small dots on the page: the dots over lowercase \"i\" are missing throughout the row labels (e.g. \"disposition\", \"Certification\"), and the decimal points in the Percent columns likewise print as a gap (\"100 0\", \"61 0\", \"34 2\"). These are decimal points lost in reproduction, so the Percent cells are transcribed with the point restored (100.0, 61.0, 34.2). No digits were added or removed. The terminal period of footnote 1 is faint for the same reason and has been restored.\n\n\"After\" (between \"Certification issued, total\" and \"Consent election\") is a label-only line in the stub with no values; its data cells are empty.\n\nAll printed figures are internally consistent: the three method totals sum to \"Total, all\" in every column, the five certification sublines sum to \"Certification issued, total\", and each indented group sums to its heading row. No misprints detected.\n\nThe table title carries footnote marker 1; per instructions the caption is not transcribed. The crop shows the full table with no rows cut off.
