Hello Michiel!

I protest in the name of protocol..

If it is not in the rules, then it is not in the rules.. Changing the rules
with a vote in progress is unheard of.

I submit:

Had the 2 no votes not been cast, Bjorn would not be pleading to change his,
therefore his regret over his own vote, is a sad consequence.

I neither cast and up or down vote for Alexey just to avoid being cast in some
negative light, but held back such vote because he did come across as worrying
more about nit picking others than anything else..

Since Sweden is the cradle of Democracy, I fail to see why Bjorn is scornful of
others making a concious decision.

Do not allow revotes, what you gonna do, allow others to change their votes if
they dont like the direction the outcome is heading?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now if you want, you can after the election, put in a rule or rule change,
which I still would object to a revote, but you could change the format to
allow a yes vote or a non-vote, then each candidate would have to score 50% or
50%+1 of all voters(*) counted. You of course would be making this suggestion
to the full FTSC, where we would fight over it and not ever agree.

(*) If 20 voters then 10 or 11 yes votes needed.

However I could see someone pitching a fit over non-votes and wanting to change
their vote, see what happens here..

Dont tilt at windmills Michiel, be strong, I am here for you!

Of course you could make the balloting secret, only publishing the results
after the election concluded, that would be a viable option.

I can see you balking at this, but you could publicly acknowledge in here...
"RC such and such voted" But dont publish the actual vote, until it is all
tallied and too late.

Felten, you know better than this. You must know ride down downtown Stockholm,
nude on a moose with a Wolf on the loose.
