We know that the intention of the people who drafted the law was not to treat the Federal Capital Territory as a special state whose votes count more. There are cases in the past where judges determined that the FCT is to be treated as a 37th state.

The only thing that should matter in the end is the determination of whether enough rigging occured to change the outcome of the election.
There's a reason that punctuation marks in legal documents are generally supposed to be ignored. Drafters should write in language that is unambiguous even if all punctuation marks are deleted. My will, for example, contains no punctuation other than full-stops.

The US constitution says something about the College of Electors and that each state and the District of Columbia appoints electors pursuant to the methods described by its legislature, equal in number to its congressional delegation (representatives and senators). Of the current 538 electors, an absolute majority of 270 or more electoral votes is required to elect the president and vice president. It explicitly does not give each presidential vote the same weight so as to avoid the federation being ruled by the most populous states. This is only true for the vote for the president (and vice-president), in other matters the Electoral College does not get involved.
