Fred,
 
FR>WD> the secrecy of the voting has now been compromised and the
FR>WD> logical result would be that it is totally invalid.
 
FR> There was no promise (or mandate) of secrecy, confidentiality, or
FR> anonymity in the election rules.
 
If the vote was not meant to be secret, there was no need for an elaborate
password system and I personally think the electorate has a right to know who
the voters are without disclosing the actual vote.
 
FR> That is correct.  Under the rules of this election you have no right to
FR> contest the results.  I will not be excusing myself.
 
The absence of the right to contest the result does not disqualify me from
having an opinion.
 
There also seems to be a vote by Sean Dennis which went the way of the
Dodo-bird and vanished. it is not mentioned in any of the reporting ... this is
the 2nd questionable vote.
 
I still think the proper thing is to step back and to announce a rerun with a
new, yet to be decided-upon, enumerator.
 
Take care,
