Proposal: Election rewording
Timed out 2 votes to 4. Failed by Kevan.

Change the text of rule “The Election” to:
A ballot is a comment on The Ballot Box, containing the string “I support X”, replacing X with the name of a Candidate other than the Pawn who posted the comment, before 0:01 on May 5, 2018 (“Closing Time”). The Pawn who posted that comment is said to have cast that ballot.
A ballot may be valid or invalid, defaulting to valid.
- At any time, at most one of the ballots casted by a single Pawn may be valid. If a Pawn has cast more than one ballot, all but the last ballot casted by that Pawn are invalid.
- A ballot supporting more than one Candidate is invalid.At Closing Time, all ballots supporting Candidates who have not cast a valid ballot become invalid.
Then, the Candidate who is supported by the most valid ballots achieves victory. In case of a tie, any Pawn may resolve the tie by selecting one of the tying Candidates randomly with the GNDT. The tiebreaking Candidate selected in this manner achieves victory. A tie may be resolved at most once.
Candidates are the Pawns named:
Cuddlebeam
Kevan
pokes
Thunder
Cpt_Koen
In my opinion, this is simpler.
Kevan: he/him
This is very unlikely to hit quorum within 15 hours, particularly now that it’s been raised to 7.
If you think there’s a genuibne problem with the current system such that it might not give us a fair result tomorrow, a simple repeal-it-for-now CfJ would probably be a better idea (and still might not pass in time).
