Reader’s notes
p. 163. Twelve printed columns: stub, "Total elections", then Number/Percent pairs under "Objections only", "Challenges only", "Objections and challenges", "Total objections" (marker 1) and "Total challenges" (marker 2). The crop cuts the footnote block: footnote 1 is clipped along the bottom of its letters but is legible and transcribed as printed; the footnote keyed to marker 2 on the "Total challenges" heading falls below the crop and is not captured. No other content appears cut off. Internal arithmetic is consistent throughout (e.g. 137 + 12 = 149; 57 + 12 = 69; the three case-type rows and the five election-type rows each sum to 3,192), so no misprints are suspected.
