Being careful doesn't seem to have a bearing on who wins an election. Legitimate votes are second class. Ardern was enabled in a 2017 election by the more important class of harvested votes, it appears to me.

From brittanica.com: "When the special votes (those cast by New Zealanders who were overseas or who had registered to vote on polling day) were tallied, Labour and the Green Party each gained a seat at the expense of the National Party".

The kind of votes that materialize, mysteriously, in trunks of cars.
