Reader’s notes
p. 100. Seven printed columns: stub plus "Cases in which formal actions taken^2", "Total formal actions taken^3", RC, RM, RD, UD, all six under the spanner "Formal actions taken by type of case". The caption carries footnote marker 1 (recorded elsewhere, so not in the grid). The body is cut off at the foot of the page: the last printed row is "Reversed" under the second "Regional Directors' decisions:" subhead, and the parallel section higher up continues with an "Outcome:" subhead ("Election directed", "Dismissals on record", "Other"), which is not on this image. The footnotes are printed below it, so the remainder presumably continues on the following page. All cells are legible; no doubtful digits. Every row is internally consistent with footnote 3 (RC + RM + RD equals the "Total formal actions taken" column, with UD excluded), so no misprints are suspected. Two sub-labels under "In stipulated elections" are printed with a typographic right single quote ("Regional Directors’ reports") while the subheads use a straight apostrophe; transcribed with a plain apostrophe throughout.
