means the law is unconstitutional and any handcount done under it is invalid

So if someone commits a murder and a specific law is used to convict him. Then they find the law to be unconstitutional, will they throw out the conviction?

C,

re: But events have proven that "intent of the voter" is too vague to provide equal protection. That means the law is unconstitutional and any handcount done under it is invalid. And since you can't change the law for this election there is no valid count after the machine count. Case closed.

What "events" have proved that intent of the voter is too vague? I saw or read that that is the standard in 33 states. The US SC better not get into the role of determining the details of state's elections or they are going to be very busy folks.
