Proposal: Talking Heads

8-0 quorum. Enacted by pokes. Three hours remain to get your wacky multi-way approval ballots in.

Adminned at 04 May 2018 20:59:27 UTC

In “The Election”, replace “of the form” with “that contains the text string”.

Quick reproposal of the first half of Jumble’s suggestion about ballot comments.

@Cpt_Koen: if you’re worried about your comment not having registered as a vote, why not make a new comment that is “of the form”?

CoV against what if there are multiple supports in the same comment? Does this become approval voting?

Hmm, good point. How bad is that, though?

Approval voting sounds fine to me, and seems better than plurality voting. for

I like approval voting more than plurality but it’s a pretty late change. The uncertainty means I don’t know what kind of ballot I can cast that I expect to be legal at Closing Time.

pokes: Yes, for instance, would a comment “I support X.” be a valid ballot despite the period? There are several of those already.
