A comment:
* on The Ballot Box,
* of the form “I vote for X”, where X is the name of a Candidate,
* that is not a vote from a Pawn for themselves,
* does not have a more recent valid vote from the same poster, and
* is posted before 0:01 on May 5 (“Closing Time”)
is considered to be a valid Vote from the comment’s poster for X.

A comment:

* that contains the text string “I vote for X”, where X is the name of a Candidate,
* that is not a vote from a Pawn for themselves,
* does not have a more recent valid vote from the same poster,
* is the last valid vote in the post, and
* is posted before 0:01 on May 5 (“Closing Time”)
is considered to be a valid Vote from the comment’s poster for X.

My first proposal.  Hopefully I didn’t screw things up.

“is the last valid vote in the post” might be interpreted as being the last valid vote on the entire Ballot Box, was the intent to mean the last “I support X” in the comment?

Also, the text to replace isn’t around any longer since it got edited to say “support” instead of “vote”.

Yes.  I need to proofread more carefully next time I propose.
