Proposal: Voting Machines

I've just seen a demonstration of the "eVote Blaster Extreme" electronic voting system. It has three dimensional voting icons, text messaging, a spam filter, and very sexy voice prompts. It is now available for a bargain price since the original source code was posted on the internet (the sales rep assures me that the system has been completely redesigned since that incident).

Add this paragraph after the first paragraph in rule 19 Electoral Votes:
A Lord may add false Electoral Votes to the real Electoral Votes they cast by using "[X]" to indicate AGAINST and "[V]" to indicate FOR instead of the usual voting icons. Up to three of these false Electoral Votes may be included in a Lord's vote. These false Electoral Votes are tallied just as if they were real Electoral Votes.
Add to the end of rule 20 Electoral Vote Counting:
When tallying votes, if the total number of Electoral Votes cast for that post is higher than the total number of Electoral Votes held by all Lords, the processing admin must append a note saying that there is evidence of voting fraud. After a post has been so marked, all Lords who used false Electoral Votes on that post are involved in a Scandal.

7-0 (24-0 EV). Reached Quorum (6). Enacted by Orson. +15 Confidence to Orson.
