The validity of the bonds and of the voters' ratification thereof shall not be affected by any errors in such estimate and, if the actual amount of the total debt service for such bond issue varies from such estimate, the ratification by the electors shall nevertheless be conclusive and the validity of the bond issue shall not be affected by reason of such variance.
