Hmmm, it seems to me the main issue is that the election rules WERE changed for this election and
not done so properly. And they allowed little things like allowing candidates to collect and submit
UNSEALED ballots.
True, that does permit EVERY candidate the ability to stuff the ballot box equally, but it hardly
seems appropriate.
