Transcription Notes:
---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-06-04 08:56:42 Removed a reference to Tenth District which must have been cut and pasted in error. Removed an extraneous space that was preventing table from formatting in Markdown. Corrected the placement of the strikethrough notation (must be within the 14 sets of pipes in that row, not in addition to them).
