465 of 465 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 204. 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". The caption carries a superscript 1, but no footnote text is printed inside this crop; the footnote must appear elsewhere on the page or opposite page, so `footnotes` is empty. "A. All representation elections" is printed as a centred section line spanning the data area (not in the stub); it is transcribed as a label-only row. Only panel A appears on this page, so a part B of the table continues elsewhere. Em-dash rules ("——") marking inapplicable cells are rendered as empty strings; printed zeros are kept as 0. The distinction matters in e.g. "Teamsters v. Local" (lost side: Total 0, AFL-CIO dash, Teamsters 0, Other national dash, Other local 0) and "Local v. Local" (lost side: Total 0, Other local 0). Row labels are kept exactly as printed, including the inconsistent punctuation after "v" ("AFL-CIO v National", "Teamsters v Teamsters", "AFL-CIO v AFL-CIO v. Teamsters", "AFL-CIO v AFL-CIO v. Local"). Arithmetic check: every subtotal and the grand total reconcile with their components both down the columns and across each row; no misprints detected.
p. 205. Column structure: 14 columns — stub, "Total valid votes cast", then six columns under "Valid votes cast in elections won" (Votes for unions: Total, AFL-CIO unions, Teamsters, Other national unions, Other local unions; plus "Total votes for no union"), then the same six under "Valid votes cast in elections lost". "B. Elections in RC cases" and "C. Elections in RM cases" are centered section banners printed across the body columns (not in the stub); they are transcribed as label-only rows per the grid convention. Many cells carry a printed dash rule (an em-dash/short rule meaning not applicable) rather than a figure; these are rendered as "". Printed zeros are kept as 0 — the distinction matters here, since a union that took part in a given election type is given 0 while a non-participant gets the dash rule (e.g. in "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. Local" the lost-side AFL-CIO and Other local cells read 0 while Teamsters and Other national read as dash rules). Arithmetic checks: every data row and every subtotal/total row reconciles internally (component columns sum to their Total, and the four parts sum to "Total valid votes cast"), and the 1-union + 2-union + 3-or-more subtotals sum exactly to "Total RC elections". No misprints detected. The crop is a continuation page: the caption carries footnote marker 1 but no footnote text is printed on this image, so `footnotes` is empty. Section A (elections in RC cases is part B here) appeared on the preceding page, and section C is cut off after its "1-union elections" subtotal — the rest of section C continues on the following page. Scan artifacts: the typeface renders many "i" characters without dots (e.g. "Participating unıons", "Elections ın RC cases"); these are transcribed as normal "i". The stub rules on the left of the body are leader dots and were dropped.
p. 206. The crop is a continuation page of Table 14. The first seven body rows are the tail of the RM-election section, whose own section banner (section C) is printed on an earlier page, so those rows appear without a section line here; the banner "D. Elections in RD cases" is printed as a centered line spanning the data columns and is given as a label-only row. Dash rules ("——") throughout the body are transcribed as empty cells, as instructed; printed zeros are kept as 0. In the RM row "AFL-CIO v. Teamsters" a small stray pen/scan mark sits just left of the value 131 in the "Valid votes cast in elections won / Votes for unions / Total" column; it is not a footnote marker and is not transcribed. In the RD row "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO" the "Valid votes cast in elections won / Votes for unions / AFL-CIO unions" cell reads as a dash rule and is given as ""; the won Total for that row is a printed 0, so a printed 0 in the AFL-CIO cell cannot be ruled out at this resolution (either reading leaves the column totals unchanged). A faint stray dot also appears in the leader-dot run of the RD "Teamsters" row label. All subtotal and total rows add correctly across and down as transcribed (e.g., 475 = 14+132+14+85+230; 26,340 = 25,640+700; 8,076 = 5,818+1,676+0+582).
