Reader’s notes
p. 153. Twelve printed columns: the stub, "Total elections", and five Number/Percent pairs. The crop is complete; all rules, headings and both footnotes are legible. Footnote marker 1 appears on the caption ("Fiscal Year 2007^1"), which is excluded per instructions, so only the marker 2 on the "Total challenges" heading is carried into the grid. "By type of cases:" and "By type of election:" are label-only section lines. The two section blocks each sum to the 1,981 total, and in every row the "Total objections" and "Total challenges" columns equal the corresponding "only" column plus the "Objections and challenges" column, so no misprint is suspected.
