Reader’s notes
p. 159. Twelve columns: stub, "Total elections", then Number/Percent pairs under "Objections only", "Challenges only", "Objections and challenges", "Total objections^1" and "Total challenges^2". The stub has no printed heading; "Total elections" is a tall single heading spanning both heading levels and is repeated in each. Dropped decimal points: in several percent cells the decimal point failed to reproduce in this scan, so the figure is printed as two digit groups separated by a blank (e.g. "6 1", "2 9", "1 9", "1 8", "4 2", "0 9", "2 5", "3 6"). Every other percent in the table carries exactly one decimal place, and each of these values matches its own Number/Total-elections ratio to one decimal (221/3,632 = 6.1; 89/3,073 = 2.9; 1/52 = 1.9; 9/507 = 1.8; 127/2,997 = 4.2; 27/2,997 = 0.9; 76/2,997 = 2.5; 22/615 = 3.6), so they have been transcribed with the decimal point restored. The affected cells are: All representation elections / Total objections Percent; In RC cases, In RM cases and In RD cases / Total challenges Percent; Stipulated elections / Objections only Percent, Objections and challenges Percent and Total challenges Percent; Regional Director-directed elections / Total challenges Percent. Percent cells that print a dash rule ("——") instead of a figure are given as "" per the convention: In RM cases / Objections and challenges Percent; Consent elections / Objections only Percent and Challenges only Percent; Expedited elections / Challenges only Percent, Objections and challenges Percent and Total challenges Percent; and all five percent cells of Board-directed elections. In the Board-directed elections row the dash rules sit against the bottom rule of the table and are partly merged with it, but the cells hold no figure either way. There is a small stray ink mark just above the Challenges only / Percent cell of the Consent elections row; it is scanner noise, not a figure or a footnote marker. The heading "Objections and chal- lenges" is hyphen-broken across two lines and has been joined.
