I also think you're allowed to cure ballots, so the first column is wrong too.

Yikes.

What? Yes of course you can count ballots after election day, that's not the issue. The issue is that some (thousands of) ballots should have been disqualified and weren't.

That's the first order question: Does this ballot satisfy the rules? If it does, cure away, it's a valid ballot. Many ballots were counted that were not valid though, which the audit revealed.

I mean, what do you think the odds are that the count was perfect? Every legitimate ballot was counted, and every illegitimate ballot wasn't? The odds of that are essentially zero, for any election.

Curing means fixing and counting ballots that were filled out improperly. Hth

Haha yes, and also ballots that weren't counted until after the deadline. But they aren't just fixing ballots that were filled out improperly. In most cases, if a ballot is filled out improperly (like you fill in two circles sorta, cause your eyesight sucks) it's not counted, because they can't depend on the biases of the poll worker to determine who the person actually intended to vote for.

You not knowing something does not make it illegal. Your argument is rump.

Dodge dodge dodge. You're good.

Some ballots are filled out badly, where you can't tell which candidate the voter intended to vote for. Should we throw that vote out, or have somebody with political priors and biases decide?
