Reader’s notes
p. 111. Twelve printed columns: stub, "Total elections" (a tall single heading spanning both heading levels), then five two-column spanner groups each split into Number/Percent. The stub heading "Type of election/case" also spans both heading levels. Footnote marker 1 is printed on the caption ("Fiscal Year 2008^1"), which is not transcribed per instructions; marker 2 is attached to the "Total challenges" spanner heading. Both footnotes are listed. All printed figures are internally consistent: the two section breakdowns each sum to the "All representation elections" line in every column (e.g. 1,688+26+306 = 2,020 and 74+1,676+0+270+0 = 2,020). No doubtful or illegible cells; the image is clean and nothing appears cut off by the crop.
