399 of 399 figures sit in a row or column sum that works out.
p. 157. 12 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: many cells are printed with a short double dash ("--") meaning none/not applicable; per the dash-rule instruction these are transcribed as "". Printed zeros are kept as "0", so the distinction between a printed 0 and a printed "--" is preserved in the remaining cells. Printed as-is, not corrected: in the "Other national unions" row and in the "1-union elections" subtotal row, the value in the "Valid votes cast in elections lost / Votes for unions / Other national unions" column is printed without a digit-grouping comma ("9274"); the matching "Valid votes cast in elections lost / Votes for unions / Total" cells on those same rows are printed with the comma ("9,274" and "20,039"). All row and column sums in the body check out arithmetically. "A. All representation elections" is a centered section line spanning the full table width; its value cells are empty. The crop ends after the "3 (or more)-union elections" subtotal and its closing rule, so any further sections (e.g. a part B) of Table 14 are not on this image. The caption carries a superscript footnote marker 1, but no footnote text is printed within this crop, so `footnotes` is empty.
p. 158. Twelve 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". Dash entries: many cells print a short double-hyphen "--" (meaning no entry); per the cell rules these are transcribed as "". This preserves the printed distinction between "--" cells and cells that print an explicit "0" (e.g. "Local v. Local" prints 0 under won-Total/AFL-CIO/Other national and under lost-Total, but "--" under lost-AFL-CIO, lost-Other national, lost-Other local and lost-no union). Two figures are printed without a digit-grouping comma and are transcribed as printed: 9669 in "Total representation elections" under elections-lost / Other national unions, and 7367 in both "Other national unions" and "1-union elections" under elections-lost / Other national unions. Comparable four-digit values elsewhere in the table do carry commas, so this looks like a typesetting inconsistency in the source, not a different value. Three row labels wrap onto two printed lines and are joined here: "National v. National v. National v. National", "AFL-CIO v. AFL-CIO v. National v. Local", and the centered section line "B. Elections in RC cases" (printed with extra space after "B.", normalized to a single space). "B. Elections in RC cases" is a centered section banner spanning the full table width; it carries no values. No footnotes are printed within this crop. The caption carries a superscript 1 marker, but the caption itself is excluded and the corresponding footnote text does not appear on this image — it is presumably on the first page of the table. Panel A (the part of the table preceding "B. Elections in RC cases") is likewise not on this crop; only the overall "Total representation elections" line and panel B appear here. The crop ends immediately after the "3 (or more)-union elections" line, which is closed by a double rule, so panel B appears complete, but any further panels (e.g. C/D for RM and RD cases) would continue beyond this crop. All internal arithmetic checks out: subtotals sum correctly within the 1-union, 2-union and 3-or-more-union blocks in every column, and the won/lost union and no-union columns sum to the "Total valid votes cast" column on the "Total representation elections" line (49,042 + 14,567 + 21,015 + 38,106 = 122,730).
p. 159. Continuation page of Table 14 (fiscal year 2006); column headings are reprinted on this page so they are transcribed. No footnote texts are printed beneath the table on this crop (the superscript 1 appears only on the excluded caption), so `footnotes` is empty. Nil cells on this page are printed as a short double-hyphen dash ("--"); per the transcription convention these dash-only cells are given as "". Note that the table distinguishes these from an explicitly printed "0", which is kept as 0, so the empty strings here all correspond to printed "--" marks and not to truly blank cells. Two values are printed without the digit-grouping comma used elsewhere in the same column and are transcribed exactly as printed: "7762" in the "Total RC elections" row, elections-lost / Votes for unions / Other national unions column; and "1416" in that same column for the rows "Other national unions" (RD), "1-union elections" (RD) and "Total RD elections". The same column's RD entry for "Other national unions" in the elections-lost Total column is printed with a comma ("1,416"), confirming the missing commas are a typesetting lapse, not a different figure. The row label "National v. National v. National v. National" is printed on two lines (ending "...National v." / "National.") and has been joined into one row. All row and column sums in the body cross-foot correctly as printed, which supports the column assignment.
