Allan -

yes, the election officials screwed up. Just to take the situation to a logical extreme, is there any point do you believe an electoral problem should be looked at? If 100% of ballots in a county had to be invalidated, would there be a remedy, or should the votes be thrown out?...

I don't necessarily agree that the election officials screwed up. This would seem to be mostly a voter problem, and it is by no means obvious at this point that the error rate is any greater than historical norms. Defective ballots must be thrown out. In the case of a purely local election where the election date is not critical there could be remedies, but not in this case.

Regards, Don
