句子重心错误；votes that were cast累赘，因为时态一致，可以省略that were；had been过去完成时错误，没有时间对比说明count这个动作发生在过去的过去(即便count是个瞬间动词，但是在否定句中瞬间动词也可以和表示一段时间的状语、连词连用，而是用完成时态)。

the placement of "cast" vis-Ã -vis "in the election" also doesn't make sense here; those two are dissociated from each other. the wording of the sentence seems to imply that the votes were simply "cast" - not in this or that election, but just "cast" - and that they simply "weren't counted in the 2000 election". the literal interpretation is that the votes may still have counted in some other election."that were" is also wordy and can be removed without consequence.
