Reader’s notes

p. 177. Crop is cut off at the bottom: the footnote line \"1 See Glossary of terms for definitions.\" is only half-visible (top halves of the letters), so its wording is a reading of a clipped line; it is transcribed as read. Footnote 2, whose marker appears on the \"Sustained\" column heading, is not visible on this crop at all — it falls below the cut.\n\nDecimal points in the percent columns are frequently broken or invisible in this scan (the image literally shows \"88 5\", \"89 2\", \"93 1\", \"6 9\", \"100 0\", \"50 0\"). Given the companion values that do print their point clearly (11.5, 10.8, 86.4, 13.6, 92.3, 7.7, 50.0) and the fact that each pair of percents sums to 100.0, these have been transcribed as decimals: All representation elections / Percent of total ruled upon (Overruled) = 88.5; RC cases = 89.2; RD cases Overruled = 93.1 and Sustained = 6.9; Consent elections Overruled = 100.0; Board-directed elections Overruled = 50.0.\n\nFive percent cells print a single em dash rather than a figure and are rendered \"\" per the dash convention: RM cases / Percent of total ruled upon (Overruled); Expedited elections / Percent of total ruled upon (Overruled); Consent elections / Percent of total ruled upon (Sustained); Expedited elections / Percent of total ruled upon (Sustained). Note these dashes sit beside a printed 0 in the matching Number column, so in the source they read as \"not computable\" rather than as missing data.\n\nThe stub line \"By type of case:\" ends in a colon; \"By type of election\" shows no colon on this scan — possibly a dropped character, transcribed as it appears.\n\nThe \"All representation elections\" label is followed by two separate runs of leader dots with a gap between them; both dropped. Several stub labels (RC/RM/RD cases, Consent, Stipulated, Expedited elections) likewise have broken, multi-run leader dots, all dropped.\n\nArithmetic checks out as printed: 561 − 41 = 520, 460 + 60 = 520, and the three case types and five election types each sum to the \"All representation elections\" line.
