Reader’s notes
p. 225. The caption carries a raised footnote marker 1 ("Fiscal Year 2004^1"), but no footnote text appears within this crop, so `footnotes` is empty; the note presumably sits below the crop boundary. The crop ends immediately after the "By Board decision" row with no closing rule visible, but the body appears complete: the three section totals sum to the "Total, all" line in every panel (All R: 2,654 + 1,677 + 214 = 4,545; RC: 3,573; RM: 131; RD: 841; UD: 110), and each section's components sum to its total. The "After:" line is a section label with no values. The row label "After Regional Director's decision and direction of election" is printed on two lines and joined here; its values are printed level with the label's second line. Apostrophes in "Regional Director's" are typographic in the image and transcribed as plain apostrophes. No illegible or doubtful cells.
