A black hole in the ballot paper sent by the secretary :-)

Let me quote the part started this:

| Unranked choices are considered equally the least desired
| choices, and ranked below all ranked choices. 

Somehow I took this as "Choices under 'None Of The Above' are considered
equally the least desired choices, and ranked below 'None Of The
Above'."

As I read it again, I do not know why.  Please laugh my lack of
attention or admire my skill for imagination.
