I have received your challenge to the preliminary results. In reviewing
historical precedent, I find that your position is indeed correct. In
previous elections, the first ballot cast by any voter was counted, and
revisions were not allowed.
Therefore, I sustain your objection and the results will be updated to reflect
only the first vote received from RC33.
Regards,
Andrew
FTSC Election Coordinator
