The following are some of the mistakes I picked up on:

'Hermoine the Head Girl' - Hermione.
'demarcate' - Democrat. Capital letter needed as it refers to the Democrat
Party.
'Economy will  tank' - I just have no idea what this means (if it is an
American phrase then I apologise).
'...changed the ballot in Palm beach 2 elections ago...' - Palm Beach, as it
is a place name it needs the capital letter.

I am sure others will point out some more mistakes.

Just because Word has said it is spelt correctly and that the grammar is
perfect does not mean that it is. Correctly spelt words do not mean that you
are using the correct word.
