Reader’s notes
p. 190. 13 columns: stub plus 12 data columns. The second and third heading levels are spanned by the four tall headings "Number eligible to vote", "Total elections", "Percent of total" and "Cumulative percent of total", and by the stub heading; "Elections in which no representative was chosen" spans heading levels 1-2 over its two columns. "A. Certification elections (RC and RM)" is a centered banner line printed across the body columns under the headings; it is given as a label-only row. In the "Total RC and RM elections" row the "Cumulative percent of total" cell holds a short dash rule ("--", not applicable); per the convention it is transcribed as an empty cell. The crop is cut off at the bottom immediately after the "1,000 to 1,999" row: the remaining size classes of panel A, any panel B, and the text of the caption's footnote marker 1 are not visible on this image, so the footnote list is empty. All row-level arithmetic checks out on this page (the four "Number" columns sum to "Total elections" in every row, including the total row: 1,226 + 96 + 96 + 1,094 = 2,512), which supports the digit reading; no suspected misprints and no doubtful or illegible cells.
p. 191. The crop continues a table from the previous page: the first three rows (2,000 to 2,999; 3,000 to 9,999; Over 9,999) are the tail of section A (RC/RM elections), whose earlier rows and section heading are not on this image. Column headings are printed here, so they are transcribed. "B. Decertification elections (RD)" is a banner line printed across the value columns (not in the stub); it is given as a label-only row with empty value cells. In the "Total RD elections" row the "Cumulative percent of total" cell holds a short dash rule ("--"), transcribed as "". The footnote line at the very bottom is clipped by the crop (only the upper part of the glyphs shows); it reads "1 See Glossary of terms for definitions." — the terminal period is inferred from the visible stroke and the wording is slightly uncertain. The footnote marker 1 also appears on the caption year (2003), which is excluded per instructions. Arithmetic check (not used to alter any cell): for section B the column sums of "Number eligible to vote" (28,673), "Total elections" (422), AFL-CIO Number (138), Other national Number (10), Other local Number (3) and no-representative Number (271) all reproduce the printed "Total RD elections" figures exactly.
