1882 Stanmore by-election
The 1882 Stanmore by-election was a by-election held on 12 July 1882 in the Stanmore electorate during the 8th New Zealand Parliament.
The by-election was caused by the election of the incumbent MP Walter Pilliet being voided on a petition on 20 February 1882.
The seat was retained by Pilliet.
Initially a 0 (zero) was mistaken for a 9 (nine) and the total for the Hon E. Richardson was wrong (336 not 345).[1]
And the Waikato Times published a grossly erroneous poll result.[2]

gollark: That is much more of a hassle than Android's custom ROM capabilities or even the ability to sideload apps.
gollark: Yes, I like being able to have a working terminal and stuff on my phone. Apple also limit you to only their app store, which is highly æææææææææææ.
gollark: I mostly just end up buying very cheap phones and replacing them every ~2 years.
