I spent last night tweaking my reporting scripts so I could quickly
turn out the HTML report this morning. Unfortunately, once
I started collating results, I ran into some problems. What I
found what that 33 ballots appear spoiled, due to a bug handling
abstentions. (213 of the 246 ballots received have no abstentions
and are fine.) The affected ballots have hash IDs

Since I am effectively the Elections Committee, my
proposal--after apologizing for not catching this test case--is
that I delete these 33 ballots so that those members may revote,
extend the election until we have 33 new ballots from those members
or until 235959 PDT Thursday (whichever occurs first), and issue nag
mails for those periods. (Ballots submitted during this extension by
members who hadn't voted during the original period will be ignored.)
An alternative is to invalidate all 33 ballots entirely, but that is
1/8 of the received votes.
Suggestions, objections welcomed; flagellations accepted. If there are no
comments by 113000 PDT today, I'll act according to the above proposal.
Apologies
Stephen
