Congratulations Jon. Yours IS more readable.
McGrath. All VALID, LEGAL ballots SHOULD be counted. And, with the exception of the mistakenly (I'm being charitable here) discarded military ballots, they HAVE been. Several times over. Both by machine AND by hand. The ones that have NOT been counted are NOT VALID, LEGAL ballots.
Why is it so hard to understand that ballots that have NOT had the chad punched out are NOT VALID, LEGAL ballots?
Would you expect anyone to listen if a loser in the national lottery complained that he INTENDED to write down the winning numbers but got confused and so should be the winner?
As Eliza said in Shaws Pygmalion," Not bloody likely!"
I am amazed that you have trouble understanding this. I thought you got your information from The Guardian, not The Daily Mail.

With all due respect,
