Reader’s notes
p. 149. Twelve columns: stub, Total elections, then Number/Percent pairs under Objections only, Challenges only, Objections and challenges, Total objections (fn 1), Total challenges (fn 2). The stub column carries no printed heading, so cell 0 of both heading levels is empty. Decimal points: the 1-bit scan drops or thins the decimal point in several percent cells, which print as a digit, a gap, and a digit. I read these as decimals, consistent with every other percent cell and with the printed Number/Total-elections pairs: All representation elections, Objections only Percent ("4 1" = 4.1) and Objections and challenges Percent ("1 0" = 1.0); Consent elections, Total objections Percent ("67" = 6.7, and 2/30 = 6.7); Stipulated elections, Challenges only Percent ("2 9" = 2.9), Total objections Percent ("4 1" = 4.1) and Total challenges Percent ("3 7" = 3.7); Regional Director-directed elections, Challenges only Percent ("5 0" = 5.0) and Objections and challenges Percent ("2 7" = 2.7). No value was otherwise altered. Percent cells printed as a dash rule (the rows where the corresponding Number is 0) are transcribed as empty. Row labels are lightly broken by the scan: "Stipulated elections" prints with a damaged "ti" (reads as "Supulated"), and "Objections" in the column headings likewise loses its "ti" dot in places; both are read as the standard wording. The heading "Objections and chal-lenges" is rejoined across its line break. No arithmetic was corrected. Internal checks do hold as printed: 156+39=195, 121+39=160; the three case types sum to 3,770 and the five election types sum to 3,770.
