NOTE: Most of the few
ballots counted as "spoiled" were actually blank
ballots, which
delegates were instructed to place in the ballot box even
if
they didn't want to
cast a vote in a particular race. The rest of the
spoiled ballots were
delegates placing the stickers for one race on the
ballot for another
race (e.g., placing the stickers for vice-chairman
candidates on the
ballot for chairman). The spoilage rate was
remarkably
low. And the victory
margins were wide enough that the spoiled ballots, if correctly
cast, would not have affected the outcome.
