Reader’s notes

p. 145. Twelve columns: stub, "Total valid votes cast", then five columns under "Valid votes cast in elections won" and five under "Valid votes cast in elections lost". Dash cells: throughout the body the printer uses a short double-hyphen dash ("--") as a not-applicable marker, and separately prints an explicit "0" in many cells. Per the transcription rule that a dash-filled cell is "", every "--" cell has been rendered as "" and every printed zero kept as "0"; readers who need the distinction between a printed "--" and a genuinely blank cell should know that no data cell in this crop was left truly blank, so all "" cells here stand for a printed "--". The crop is cut off at the bottom in the middle of section "B. Elections in RC cases": the last fully printed row is "AFL-CIO v. National" (812 ...), and the remainder of panel B, the section total and any footnotes (the caption carries a superscript 1) continue on the part of the page not shown. No footnote text is visible in this crop. Section header lines "A. All representation elections" and "B. Elections in RC cases" are centred across the table and carry no values; they are printed with extra space after the letter, normalised to a single space here. Internal check (not corrected, for information only): in panel A the "2-union elections" subtotal row's "elections lost - Total" of 406 does not equal the sum of its component rows (389 + 0 + 0 + 4 + 12 + 1 = 406 does in fact match); all other subtotals I spot-checked also add up, so no misprint is suspected.

p. 146. 12 columns: stub, "Total valid votes cast", then five columns under "Valid votes cast in elections won" (Votes for unions: Total / AFL-CIO unions / Other national unions / Other local unions, plus "Total votes for no union") and the same five under "Valid votes cast in elections lost". The page is a continuation ("—Continued" in the caption, excluded). The first ten body rows belong to the part-B section (RC cases) that began on the preceding page; no "B." section line is printed on this crop. The crop ends immediately after the row "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO / 325 ..." in part D, so section D continues onto the following page; no footnotes are printed on this image. Many cells are printed as a short double-hyphen dash ("--", meaning none/not applicable, distinct from a printed "0"); per the transcription rule for dash-filled cells these are given as "". Printed zeros are kept as 0, so the 0-vs-dash distinction in the original is lost in those empty cells only. All rows and panel totals cross-foot correctly as transcribed (component columns sum to the "Total" columns and to "Total valid votes cast"), which supports the column assignment. No doubtful or illegible cells.

p. 147. The crop is the tail of a continued table (caption ends "—Continued"); only three body rows are present, so the rows above "AFL-CIO v. Local" are on earlier pages. In the "AFL-CIO v. Local" row the last four cells (lost: AFL-CIO unions, Other national unions, Other local unions, and Total votes for no union) are printed as a short dash rule "--"; following the convention for dash rules they are given as "". All other dash-like entries are absent. A footnote marker 1 is attached to the caption year ("Fiscal Year 2005^1"), but no footnote text appears under the table in this crop. All printed row sums are internally consistent (e.g. 7,564+282+650 = 8,496; 8,496+3,926+3,304+6,213 = 21,939).
