The RO can use a spreadsheet to tabulate the votes indicated on the SOPs. He can also use an abacus if he so chooses. If he wants to be a typical ridiculous PNC, he can use his fingers and toes. But whatever he tabulates has to come from the SOPs. What the PPP along with every other party other than the Coalition parties objected to was a spreadsheet which was populated with numbers that did not come from those SOPs. The Chief Justice said that that particular spreadsheet is in violation of article 84.
