i saw it.
I guess its your right to protest that way, its your ballot

its a bit unfortunate.
i have not really finished investigating what exactly happened in the
previous vote, but more information is still trickling in.
There where mistakes made in the previous vote though i doubt they
affected the outcome, but i do not know

I think anton, thilo and jb should have paused the votes and waited
until we fully understand the previous votes issues.
now it becomes only more messy
previous vote, repeat vote, some agree some disagree thats the right path
next votes following on top of ?
some calls to changes to vote admin, some calls to change vote superviser
some calls to change server

in a week we have 8 servers 16 vote admins 32 vote supervisers and 64
different outcomes of the previous vote

we can get rich by renting out all that vote infra we soon will have ;)

thx
