After resolving the technical difficulties from last nights count and attempt was made today to proceed with the electronic system. It became clear after some hours verifying rejected votes, an activity that usually only takes a few minutes that serious concerns were starting to arise as to the nature of the rejections and the system as a whole.

This is frustrating for all concerned, however all agree that there must be a count we all have confidence in.
