The election is a process. All processes are meant to guarantee the integrity of one thing, the vote. Unless an irregularity or illegality so affects the outcome of an election such that the winner declared did not attain 50% + 1 vote or did not win altogether, the election is valid. The onus is upon the Judges to show that the evidence, beyond all reasonable doubt, affected the result. A tricky situation seeing as there was not a single affidavit from any party agent, questioning the results at any polling station. The affirmed number of discrepancies was 23,000 votes...well within the margin of error.
