Papaya--For example, if a candidate's name was missing on a ballot, the officials would color code those voting subsequent to discovery of the missing candidate's name. If by the final vote tally, the percentage of difference is close enough that those voting without benefit of the candidate's name present would have effected the election, a revote would be called. If there was little to no difference, then the final tally would stand even though the candidate's name was missing for some portion of the election. The point I'm making is that if the point is moot, then there is no challenge. However, if the final tally could have been reflected with a different result, then a revote would make sense. In the instance of Palm Beach County, the result makes a difference. In this instance, the difference determine who will become the next president of the United States. Therefore, it's not moot.
