p. 250. Seven printed columns: stub plus Total, Consent, Stipulated, Board-directed, Regional Director-directed, and Expedited elections under 8(b)(7)(C). The five case-type lines (All types, total; RC cases; RM cases; RD cases; UD cases) are section labels printed with no values on their own line; the three indented lines beneath each carry the figures. In the UD cases block, the Expedited elections under 8(b)(7)(C) column holds a dash rule for Elections, Eligible voters and Valid votes; these are transcribed as empty cells. The single footnote line is clipped by the bottom crop edge but is legible as 'See Glossary of terms for definitions.'; its terminal period is partially cut. Arithmetic checks all reconcile: each row's five election-type figures sum to the printed Total, and the four case-type blocks sum to the All types, total block, for Elections, Eligible voters and Valid votes alike. No doubtful or illegible figures.
