AI generated

The Supreme Court found the protest valid because the local committee incorrectly declared votes with handwritten notes as invalid, violating election law. While the court acknowledged this procedural error affected the count of valid and invalid votes in that district, it ruled the mistake did not alter the final election results. Consequently, the court issued an opinion confirming the violation but stated the election outcome remained unchanged.
