Reader’s notes
p. 130. Twelve columns: stub, Total elections, then Number/Percent pairs under Objections only, Challenges only, Objections and challenges, Total objections^1, Total challenges^2. The stub column has no printed heading, so the stub cells of both heading levels are empty; "Total elections" is a tall heading spanning both levels and is repeated. Scan quality: the decimal point is faded or lost in a number of Percent cells, which print as a gap (e.g. "4 7", "2 9" in All representation elections; "4 0" and "0 7" in In RC cases; "1 6" in In RM cases; "4 7", "2 2", "0 6", "5 3" in In RD cases; "5 4" and "1 3" in Regional Director-directed elections). All of these are one decimal place like their neighbours, so they are transcribed with the point restored (4.7, 2.9, 4.0, 0.7, 1.6, 4.7, 2.2, 0.6, 5.3, 5.4, 1.3). Percent cells printed as a dash rule (em-dash) are given as "" — these occur wherever the corresponding Number is 0 (In RM cases Objections and challenges Percent; all Percent cells of Consent elections and Board-directed elections; Expedited elections Objections only, Objections and challenges and Total objections Percent). The Total objections Number cell for "Expedited elections" (printed 0) carries a small stray ink mark to the right of the digit; it is scanner noise, not a footnote marker, as footnotes 1 and 2 are attached to the headings only. Similar faint vertical specks sit on the column rule beside Regional Director-directed and Board-directed elections and are also noise. Consistency check (not corrected in the grid): Total objections should equal Objections only + Objections and challenges, and Total challenges should equal Challenges only + Objections and challenges. These hold for every row (e.g. 152+25=177, 83+25=108), so the digits read here are internally consistent.
