49. Need a little explanation from the master
A spoiled ballot is one where it cannot be determined who the voter voted for, or where the voter makes a mistake in marking his/her vote on the ballot.

How do you know that the ballots the election officials say are spoiled are not, in fact, spoiled ?

Maybe you are saying that spoiled ballots should be counted for for one of the candidates anyway. If that's the case, who should receive the vote ?

Another possibility is that many of these ballots are not spoiled and they are fraudulently being excluded from the count. Of course, there would need to be some proof that this before we can go around claiming fraud. Do you have any proof of this ?
