Reader’s notes

p. 118. Twelve columns: stub, "Total elections", then Number/Percent pairs under "Objections only", "Challenges only", "Objections and challenges", "Total objections^1" and "Total challenges^2". "Total elections" is a tall single heading spanning both heading levels, so it is repeated in both. Footnotes are cut off by the crop: only the uppermost sliver of the first footnote line (marker 1) is visible at the very bottom edge, with its letters sheared off and unreadable, and the footnote 2 text is below the crop entirely. I have therefore left `footnotes` empty rather than guess at the wording; both markers (1 on "Total objections", 2 on "Total challenges") are clearly printed in the headings. Four-digit values are printed without digit-grouping commas in this table (3155, 2684, 2642) and are transcribed as printed. The "By type of cases" rows sum to the "All representation elections" line in every column; the "By type of election" rows sum to the same totals except that 7 + 2642 + 0 + 506 + 0 = 3155 checks, while the Objections-only count 0 + 48 + 0 + 83 + 0 = 131 also checks — no internal inconsistencies found. The "Stipulated elections" row shows 1 in the "Objections and challenges / Number" column with 0.0 in the adjacent Percent column; that is as printed (1 of 2642 rounds to 0.0).
