I was a presiding officer, counter and finally a count supervisor and the rule we followed (and I am sure this happens at every count) that the vote is counted AS LONG AS THE VOTER'S INTENTION IS CLEAR.<br />Hope that helps you feel better.<br />I do so agree that everyone should exercise their right to vote.Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811673280675153792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179099866227570577.post-75993305105050043522010-05-12T01:26:14.387-07:002010-05-12T01:26:14.387-07:00Hello Sarah,

Wish I had known at the time, as I would have spoken to you more (I said 'Good Morning' on Monday morning and shared the dining room with you at breakfast!) <br />We had a wonderful stay - thank you kindly, and I shall now add your link to my most recent blog post. <br /><br />Just to say I agree with everything that you wrote here - the election was a very difficult decision this time - each party had their 'fores and againsts'! I hovered as I made my mark before finally coming down on one side...but where has it got us?!<br /><br />Good luck with your wonderful business. I hope it goes from strength to strength.<br /><br />My best wishes,<br />Niki (and Dave!)<br />PS: LOVE your hens!Niki Fretwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06453900065526512512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179099866227570577.post-89657901655967538622010-05-10T08:54:48.537-07:002010-05-10T08:54:48.537-07:00Sounds like our elections here in the states.

They all do what they want after they are elected anyway. My husband and I got up at 5:30 a.m. to vote last week because we still think it is very important.Katenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179099866227570577.post-37657829397645310342010-05-09T06:21:42.346-07:002010-05-09T06:21:42.346-07:00Our youngest voted in this last election and she w...Our youngest voted in this last election and she walked out of the booth so proud that it made Mommy proud too!<br /><br />It ALSO made Mommy feel old!!!<br /><br />Vickie in Michigan :)Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12398756706362896787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179099866227570577.post-69061591962851972492010-05-07T06:36:46.720-07:002010-05-07T06:36:46.720-07:00Yes, as someone said on radio 4 this morning, &quo...Yes, as someone said on radio 4 this morning, "The people have spoken.

(I put a cross in the end...phew!) Seems silly to wonder, but all they say is put your 'mark' in the box of your choice so really, it could be anything.<br /><br />All your points are so valid, especially about women dying to get us the right to vote.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14257653410136495378noreply@blogger.com
