Just one minor suit — which shortened the period of time in which Pennsylvania voters could fix errors on certain mail ballots — was successful.

Most expert pairs use that cue-bid to show a solid minor suit, in principle stoppers in the other two unbid suits and asking partner to bid three no-trump with a stopper in the opener’s suit.

East, who could not retain control of both minor suits, chose to discard the club jack.

With the diamond finesse working, North-South could have won 12 tricks in either minor suit.

However, North thought this was unusual, showing length in both minor suits.
