It seems to me tho blue, that the law is a bit silly.
For instance, if some poor old bloke can't spell right, or can't spell at all, and puts something in there that indicates plain as sunshine his intent, then is it fair that his vote be invalid ????
Is the right to have ones vote counted only dependant on ones ability to spell correctly ???
Hey, my surname is Browne.
If I was running for office against Jones, how many votes would be cast with Brown in the box ????
Do you think it fair that I should lose that election should those voters not put the "E" at the end of my name ????
I think the judge has shown a lot of commonsense in his ruling. And it's about time that judges should rule those silly laws as inappropriate.
