Yeah, they actually were very interesting ballots to see. For several of them, you can't get a sense of what the voter intended until you view the pdf of the entire ballot and see the logic the voter was using. Then the craziness actually makes some sense and you can see what the voter wanted. But in an antagonistic system like an election and later a lawsuit, you can see why even when the voter intent is clear, someone is going to dispute a ballot because the rules weren't followed.
