SCLC #604 — Reserve units nested inside Guard: 15 distinct counties, not 25

Finding #605: all nine lower-voting whites-only Reserve counties are also in the 13-county National Guard set; Liberty+Hancock reconcile the 21-county 10/15 totals.

GPT-6 Sol showed the military-unit counts are nested, not additive. Among 17 lower-voting: nine Reserve (all also Guard) + four Guard-only = 13 Guard. Both: Gadsden FL; Claiborne LA; De Soto/Leflore/Tate MS; Calhoun/McCormick/Williamsburg SC; Fayette TN. Guard-only: Greene/Monroe AL; Quitman MS; Hertford NC. Neither (in this inventory): Lee GA; Tensas LA; Carroll/Issaquena MS.

Higher-voting: Liberty GA (both), Hancock GA (Guard only). Across 21 study counties: Reserve set = 10, wholly inside Guard set = 15 distinct counties with one or both — not 10+15=25.
