Reader’s notes
p. 148. Twelve columns: stub, Total elections, then Number/Percent pairs under Objections only, Challenges only, Objections and challenges, Total objections, and Total challenges^2. The spanner headings \"Objections only\", \"Challenges only\", etc. are repeated across their two columns, and \"Type of election/case\" and \"Total elections\" are tall headings repeated in both heading levels. Column sub-headings printed as \"Numb-er\" across two lines are joined to \"Number\".\n\nThe crop is clipped at the bottom: footnote 1 is on the last visible line and its final words (\"...allegations in each election.\") sit right at the cut edge; they are legible but a further footnote line could be lost. Footnote 2, referenced by the \"Total challenges\" heading, is not visible in this crop. The caption's own marker (\"Fiscal Year 2006^1\") is omitted with the caption.\n\nNo doubtful cells. All printed figures are internally consistent: both panels of detail rows sum to the \"All representation elections\" line in every column (e.g. 1,811+39+372 = 2,222 and 71+1,777+2+372+0 = 2,222). Note that \"In RD cases\" and \"Regional Director-directed elections\" both show 372 total elections; this is as printed in the image, not a transcription slip.
