If one says "Dev A" is a better council candidate than "Dev B" it doesn't |
20 |
mean that "Dev B" is not a good council candidate. |

the bottom half of candidates"? |

Jorge, or any other election official, can you explain why the master |
44 |
ballot contains 145 ballots and council-2008-results.txt says: "We |
45 |
received 143 valid votes and two invalid (two people who forgot to issue |
46 |
votify --submit)." |
