107 of 107 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 172. 11 columns: stub plus Number/Percent pairs for All R, RC, RM, RD and UD cases. Em-dash cells: many Percent cells hold a single em dash (—) rather than a figure, always beside a Number of 0; per the dash-rule convention these are transcribed as "". They occur in: "After notice of hearing, before hearing closed" (consent, RM); "After hearing closed, before decision" (consent, all five Percent columns); "After hearing closed, before decision" (stipulated, RM and UD); "Expedited election" (RD, UD); "Board-directed election" (UD); "After Regional Director's decision and direction of election" (UD); "After Board decision and direction of election" (RM, RD, UD); "After notice of hearing, before hearing closed" (dismissal, UD); "After hearing closed, before decision" (dismissal, RM); "By Board decision" (UD). Faint decimal points: the scan prints many percent values with the decimal point dropped out or reduced to a gap ("100 0", "34 7", "50 0", "49 3", "0 8", "23 6", "13 5", etc.). All percent figures in this table are printed to one decimal place, so these have been transcribed with the decimal point restored; no digits were altered. The "After" line under "Certification issued, total" is a label-only section line with no values. All internal arithmetic checks out: the three stage subtotals sum to each section total, and the section totals ("Certification issued", "By withdrawal", "By dismissal") sum to "Total, all" in every one of the five Number columns. No misprints detected. The caption carries footnote marker 1 ("Fiscal Year 1990^1"), which is excluded with the caption.
