If the filled in name was anyone other than Murphy, it would be a "no vote".
I see. Well, I don't see much difference between the two, except that one set of voters are permitted to not fill out their ballot according to the law and another set is not.
Rather arbitrary. The law is stupid and should be changed. If the vote is obvious it should be counted (and that doesn't include pregnant/dimpled chads, I might add..)
