Reader’s notes

p. 163. Single panel, 15 columns (stub + 14 data columns), 4 printed heading levels. The three tall single headings "Total" (Number of polls), "Total eligible" (Employees involved) and "Total" / "Percent of total eligible" (Valid votes cast) span heading levels 2-4 and are repeated in each; likewise "Resulting in deauthorization" / "Resulting in continued authorization" under "Number of polls" span levels 2-3, and "Cast for deauthorization" spans levels 2-3. The footnote marker 1 is printed on the caption ("Fiscal Year 2000^1"), which is excluded per instructions; the footnote text itself is transcribed. All cells are legible; no doubtful digits. The three component rows sum exactly to the printed Total row in every count column (46, 8, 38, 3,098, 583, 2,515, 2,092, 371), and the printed percentages are consistent with those counts.
