You have now completely sold me on the need to reform the system. Any voting system where people following the voting procedure have their ballots invalidated because the people counting them don't like how the people followed the procedure has got to go.Did you notify us of this beforehand or did you change the voting rules after people had already cast their votes? Well, gee, if the people counting the ballots can change the rules of the election on the fly, how legitimate can the election be?So, I should have voted 10/1/1/1/2 and then my vote would have counted? This is the problem with Borda and Borda-like systems; you can't really build a gentleman detector.Or you could use a system that makes this an irrelevant impossiblity (ie. IRV).</blockquote>
