Of all ballots cast for president, 28 were improperly completed and therefore rejected; of all the ballots cast for vice president, eight were improperly completed and therefore rejected; henceforth “ballot” means a legal vote for office. The forms used for voting contain two ballots, one for each office. “Undervote” means a ballot that did not specify second and/or third preferences and was therefore to be ignored in any run-off counts.
