":Hi Flcelloguy! Late to chime in, but I can confirm that I can see no discrepancies in the votes cast and finally recorded. The votes discounted, if counted, would not change the results of the election. Therefore I would happily  declare that the voting in the Esperanza General Election of 2005 was free, fair, open and transparent.  My only caveat would be that the election was temporariliy closed early and in that period, some votes may have been lost; however, judging by the editing pattern and the times between votes, it seems unlikely. The time the poll was closed was far enough out of ""peak Wikitime"" to have had a negligible effect; also the poll was reopened and remained so in peak Wikitime for enough time for that mistake to be rendered null. Finally, the margin of victory of the 4 winning candidates is such that, barring a fluke surge in voting during that time that was radically different to the previous pattern, no ultimate effect on the result was likely. 

 :I have roughly tabulated this in a OO Calc spreadsheet (I know that's sad, but this is an encyclopedia, after all!) and I can tart the spreadsheet up and make it available should anyone have a just complaint. (I really hope they don't, I'd have to spend 'so much time on it, it'd be killing, honestly!) 

 :Otherwise, in my humble opinion, the result may now be officially announced (I looked on the page but haven't check my email; if they have been announced, I will look like an idiot. But the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree on that score, so I'm not worried ;) ➨ E
