About this plate
THE HONEST HEADLINE IS THAT THIS INDEX HAS NO COUNT. Florida's index records a contested count from two sources; Guam's and Puerto Rico's record exact statutory counts; the USVI's records that the issuing agency publishes nothing at all and that the pricing sits with third-party sponsors.
About the format
illustrative only, this is an INDEX entry, not a spec
