This is what it should look like filled out correctly.  Don't use check marks!  Use numbers!

==Election results==
Rachel, Andy, Miloh, and Ani were elected as directors of Noisebridge.
=== Ballot data ===
38 ballots were deposited in the ballot box.  Three ballots were not counted:
* One ballot was a spoof containing a vote for Richard Nixon.
* One ballot was a piece of paper with just the name "Ani" written large in crayon.
* One ballot had some candidates ranked with integers, some with e and pi, one with sqrt(-1), and one with infinity.
** The counters felt that if sqrt(-1) had not been present then the voter's intent would have been obvious, but given incommensurate cartesian values it was a spoiled ballot.
Other than the noncounted ballots, the following was also observed:
* Several ballots had crossed-out values, difficult-to-read integers, and other confusion, but were easy to agree on an interpretation.
* One ballot had checkmarks rather than integers, and was treated as a "1" vote for each check and a - for each blank.
The following data is formatted for use with [http://zesty.ca/condorcet.zip Ping's condorcet implementation].
