I understand your point but I think it is merely a strict interpretation of the law and does not take into account the intention of the law which is to prevent fraud.

In this case the district voters and both campaigns were represented in the acceptance of the ballot before the election and no objections were voiced. The ballot itself is understandable and not misleading and no one is accusing anyone of fraud. Therefore, I believe, that the intention of the law was preserved in this ballot and the process by which it was constructed and approved.

To cling to a strict interpretation of law, in my opinion, is self serving and ignores a basic fact that the ballot was approved by both parties and the district voters prior to the vote and in no way is misleading or fraudulent.

That's where you're wrong. Precedent shows that illegal ballots that have passed the election board's approval tend to stand up in court, but with a requirement to change the ballot.
