NEWSFLASH : MORE VOTING SHENANIGANS AT SHENANIGANS....

At another not-too-well-advertised EGM at the 666 Shenanigans BC, cunningly convened by Bigot-Johnson's lackeys , a proposal was put forward to employ " bouncers "  to man the front door. Their job would be to refuse entry to anyone " who didn't fit the bill ". Such a proposal allowed the club committee in effect to exercise their right to bar entry to anyone they perceived as undesirable.
However, a sizeable group of members got wind of this development and they turned up in droves to attend this EGM, ready to scupper Bigot's plans. After fierce debate the proposal was put to the vote, and immediately after the counting the results were announced : those in favour 37 plus the 16 proxy votes , those against nil , and 3 abstentions.
" Hold on a mo..." screamed an irate member from the back of the room. " I voted against this proposal .....so how come it's not mentioned in the count ?  In fact there are 120 members present in this room tonight, and to my knowledge there was a large number who voted along with me. So what the hell have you done with the " no " votes.
Bigot stood up, smug faced and full of glee : " Eighty voting slips were spoilt and were therefore discounted.....or should I say discarded straight into the bin. They were all incorrectly filled out ...."
" What....I know I put my cross right in the middle of the box ! "
" Yes, and so did 79 others....but you suckers had not bothered to read the notice placed outside this room, which laid down the rules about how to fill in the voting slips. This notice clearly stated that crosses must be placed " on " the box to be valid , and so anyone putting them " in " the box would have spoilt their vote. "
" This is an outrage "
" Rules are rules .......and with great vision and forethought , I had already planned for this proposal to be implemented tonight.........and so would someone kindly send for the two bouncers, who I believe have just arrived.... to come in and have this obstreperous arsehole removed from the premises...."
