Re: [Counting agent me]: A conundrum of spoilt votes

Re: [Counting agent me]
One way out of this conundrum is perhaps for a pile of 'uncertain votes' (2 way contest) to be separated into a fourth pile: the first 3 being: one pile each for each party, 1 pile for obviously spoilt votes (blank sheets, major illegible scribblings across page, has the word 'SPOILT-VOTE' written by voter on it). The former 3 categories should be easily determined by the vote counters themselves- the counting agents (from each party) having the right perhaps to single out votes sorted that they don't agree with into the 4th pile- 'ambiguous' (via the table chief of course).
