I still think it's safer to say "most votes" there, rather than "majority".

Okay, and one more question before we put something in Press; what happens if someone reads about Angel Previously and No Preference and says, "hey, I voted wrong!" Can they revote, or do they just have to suck it up?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
So we are going with the rule that No preference votes only count towards the quorum issue, and that when deciding the actual issue, it is only the yes and no votes that matter, even if No preference has more votes than yes or no, right?
eta: Lyra, in fairness to them, they should be able to email me about it, since other people already have.

Lee, that's the way I underdstand it.
Lyra, as far as I understand, they can re-vote, and then their former vote doesn't count.

Correct. The only purpose for it is to allow people who don't have a preference to chip in toward the minimum vote total, thereby shutting us up on the issue, one way or the other, for six months.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And I really think that's important.

Yes. It's the real point of voting.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I've been no preferencing ever since we started voting.
