110 of 110 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.

Reader’s notes

p. 210. 11 columns: stub plus Number/Percent pairs for All R, RC, RM, RD and UD cases. The scan is a coarse bitonal reproduction in which the decimal point of every Percent value has largely dropped out (values read as "100 0", "62 3" etc.); they are transcribed as decimals (100.0, 62.3, ...), which is what the typesetting intends and what the arithmetic confirms (e.g. 4,896/7,859 = 62.3%). All printed figures are internally consistent: the three method subtotals add to "Total, all" in every case column, and each stage breakdown adds to its own subtotal. The row "After" is a section label printed above "Consent election" with no values of its own. In the "By withdrawal, total / Before notice of hearing" row, the RD Number cell shows a stray ink speck to the right of 344 and a speck to the left in the RM Percent gutter; neither is a footnote marker. Similar isolated specks appear after "Regional director-directed election" in the stub and in a few Percent cells (e.g. RC "After notice of hearing" under By withdrawal, UD "After regional director's decision"); all are scanner dirt, not digits or markers. The only footnote marker on the page is the raised 1 on the caption, which is excluded from the grid.
