Hi Robert
<div><br>
</div>
<div>“I voted fine therefore the entire election was great” sadly isn't a
logical argument.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Other people than you were sent emails denying them their vote.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In normal democratic societies this is seen as a bad thing.</div>

<div>Best</div>
