440 of 440 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 184. 14 columns: stub, "Total valid votes cast", then six columns for elections won (Total / AFL-CIO unions / Teamsters / Other national unions / Other local unions / Total votes for no union) and the same six for elections lost. Cells printed as a dash rule ("——") are transcribed as "". A printed "0" is kept as 0; the distinction between dash and 0 is legible throughout. "A. All representation elections" is a centered section line spanning the table width; it is given as a label-only row. The crop ends after "Total representation elections", so any part B of this table and the table caption fall outside the crop. Doubtful/faint cells: in row "AFL-CIO v National", the elections-lost "Other local unions" cell shows only a faint speck and is read as a dash (empty); this is confirmed by 67 + 66 = 133, the printed lost Total. In row "Teamsters v. Teamsters", the elections-lost "Other national unions" and "Other local unions" cells are faint dash rules, read as empty (consistent with lost Total 0 = 0 + 0). Row labels keep the printed punctuation, which is inconsistent in the source: "AFL-CIO v. Teamsters" and "Teamsters v. National" have a period after "v", while "AFL-CIO v National", "AFL-CIO v Local" and "AFL-CIO v Teamsters v. National" do not. The en dash printed in "AFL–CIO" is transcribed as a plain hyphen. No arithmetic was altered. All row and column sums as printed are internally consistent (every subtotal, the component columns, and the grand total check out), which supports the digit readings.
p. 185. 14 columns: stub, "Total valid votes cast", then the six "elections won" columns (Total / AFL-CIO unions / Teamsters / Other national unions / Other local unions / Total votes for no union) and the matching six "elections lost" columns. All em-dash rule cells ("——") are transcribed as "". Printed zeros are kept as 0. The caption carries footnote marker 1 ("...Fiscal Year 1990^1—Continued"), but no footnote text is printed on this crop; the footnote presumably appears on the table's first page (this image is a "—Continued" page). The caption itself is omitted per instructions. Punctuation uncertainty from the scan: the page loses many small dots (note the dotless "i" in "Participating unions", "Teamsters v Local"). The section line reads "B Elections in RC cases"; I transcribed it as "B. Elections in RC cases", and likewise supplied "v." in the versus-row labels where the period is faint or lost ("Teamsters v Local", "Teamsters v Teamsters", "AFL-CIO v AFL-CIO v. National"). The wording and capitalisation are otherwise exactly as printed. Arithmetic cross-checks all pass, which corroborates the column placement: every detail row's Total valid votes cast equals won-total + won-no-union + lost-total + lost-no-union; each subtotal row ("1-union elections", "2-union elections", "3 (or more)-union elections") equals the sum of its detail rows in every column; and "Total RC elections" equals the three subtotals summed in every column (e.g. 189,429 + 11,449 + 360 = 201,238; 31,834 = 28,484 + 3,082 + 268). No misprints detected.
p. 186. Continuation page of Table 14; the crop is cut off immediately after the "2-union elections" subtotal of section "D. Elections in RD cases" (a horizontal rule and further rows of section D continue on the next page). The caption carries a superscript 1 marker, but no footnote text is printed within this crop, so `footnotes` is empty. 14 columns: stub, "Total valid votes cast", then six columns under "Valid votes cast in elections won" (Total, AFL-CIO unions, Teamsters, Other national unions, Other local unions, Total votes for no union) and the same six under "Valid votes cast in elections lost". Em-dash rules ("——") in the body are transcribed as empty cells; printed zeros are kept as 0. Section D's letter appears as "D" with no clearly visible period in the scan (unlike "C." above it); it is transcribed with a period on the assumption the period is lost to the scan — treat that one character as uncertain. The scan is lightly speckled: stray ink specks sit before the values 2 and 3 in the "2-union elections" row of section D (Total votes for no union of elections won, and Total of elections lost) and after the 0 in the Other local unions / elections lost cell of the "2-union elections" row of section C; these are read as specks, not footnote markers or digits. The leading tick before "881" (Teamsters, elections won Total, section D) and before "206" (Other national unions, elections lost no-union, section D) is likewise read as a speck. All printed row and column totals in both panels add up internally; no misprints detected.
p. 187. Continuation page ("—Continued" in the caption): the crop prints the full three-level column heading but only a single body row, the "Total RD elections" line; the RD-election detail rows it totals are on the preceding page. 14 printed columns: stub, "Total valid votes cast", then six columns under "Valid votes cast in elections won" (Total, AFL-CIO unions, Teamsters, Other national unions, Other local unions, Total votes for no union) and the same six under "Valid votes cast in elections lost". Scan artifacts drop the dots on several i's in the headings ("Vahd votes cast", "Partıcıpatıng unıons", "natıonal", "unıons"); transcribed with the intended spelling. All printed figures are internally consistent (6,561+911+237+244 = 7,953; 3,051+781+111+449 = 4,392; 7,953+4,038+4,392+9,862 = 26,245), which supports the digit reading. The footnote marker 1 on the image belongs to the caption (excluded per instructions); no value cell carries a marker.
