Maybe this will help.

100,000 ballots.
Candidate A gets 55,000 votes
Canditate B gets 40,000 votes
5000 ballots go uncounted. Does not matter, how or if you even count those 5000. No harm no foul.

This happens all the time. There are an estimated 2.5 million uncounted ballots from the last election. Absentee ballots go uncounted all the time, in districts where the counting of them would not make a difference in the election. There can be no greater disparity in treatment of ballots than allowing them to go uncounted. But since the effort of counting them will not make a difference in the election, there is no harm in not counting them, thus no voting rights issue of any kind.

I dont think that they have declared unconstitutional Florida or any other voting system. Only the way Florida decided to smooth out the wrinkles was declared uncontstitutional. The law suits that follow are/were inevitable, regardless of the SCOTUS decision.

I have not been following the Ga cases you mention. got any links ?
