Reader’s notes
p. 168. Grid is 15 columns: stub plus 14 numeric columns (5 under \"Number of polls\", 5 under \"Employees involved (number eligible to vote)\", 4 under \"Valid votes cast\"). Four heading levels are printed; tall single headings (\"Total\" for polls, \"Total eligible\", \"Total\" and \"Percent of total eligible\" for valid votes cast, and the stub heading) are repeated in every level they span, and the \"Number\" / \"Percent of total eligible\" pair under \"Cast for deauthorization\" is printed lower on the page than the polls sub-headings but belongs to the same two-column group.\n\nSuspected misprint: in the row \"Other local unions\", the cell under \"Number of polls\" > \"Resulting in deauthorization\" > \"Number\" is printed as \"0.0\" rather than the integer \"0\" that the column calls for (every other count cell in that row prints a bare \"0\"). Transcribed as printed, uncorrected. I re-read the image to confirm this cell.\n\nIn the footnote, the word rendered \"manority\" appears to be a printing error for \"majority\"; it is transcribed exactly as printed. The caption (omitted per instructions) carries the raised footnote marker 1 after \"Fiscal Year 2003\", which is what footnote 1 attaches to; no footnote markers appear inside the grid itself.
