    How can there be so many spoiled votes? Surely people don't do it on purpose and surely they aren't so stupid as not to understand how to vote????!!!!!

    A ballot counter told me once that it is amazing the number of dopes who put a large X beside the person they want to vote for.

    Yes as Cheap Thrills said, some people do "protest vote". Others probably mark their choice with an "x" instead of a number! It would make you wonder if some aul one or aul fella has be voting all her life but has been sticking an x in the box and spoiling her/his vote unintentionally!

    Maybe it's their tenth preference.

    From the thread in the GE forum, you can do that apparently. I didn't think you could.

    How'd he/she become a ballot counter if he/she doesn't know an X is allowed if voting for one candidate?

    Well, Paul Gogarty didn't get re-elected.

    I suppose the message to him from the electorate is, "Fuck you, Paul Gogarty".

    :D

    Dunno. She's certainly not sexy anyway. She looks mentally retarded.

    Lenihan elected without reaching quota.

    Elected by default and possibly to be the only FF in Dublin. Clearly Dublin don't like FF :D
