There are always invalid ballots in every election. There were nearly 15,000 in the previous election in the same county, with a much lower voter turn out. People make mistakes, especially when they get really old. Why do you think there's a movement across the country that would take away driving license from people over certain age? Sometimes Alzheimer patients simply don't remember where or whether they punched a hole, or for whom; it's no reflection on their intelligence.

BTW, there is indication that many of the 19,000 double-punched ballots were discarded by the voters who got a replacement ballot.
