I was just reading the Constitution when I discovered Article V, Section 2, Clause 9 which reads:

Persons who edit the post in which their vote(s) are contained at the place of voting shall have their vote counted as void.

Note that bold part.  Our legal system stops at the point of which it is only illegal to edit your vote. 

Why does this matter?  Forum moderators and administrators have the power to edit any post.  So, John Ford, Gustaf, and Dave Leip all have the Constitutional right to change a person's vote to their liking as long as it is not their vote.

Crazy, huh? Tongue

This is really cool.  No one could stop you.  It would take a constitutional amendment for it to be changed and you could block the approval of it in the regional ratification.

John Ford could also abolish the entire government if he felt like it.  If anybody complained, he could ban them.

Hmm.

I'm starting to believe you're now joking about that, Preston.  If you are, I'm afraid it's already beginning to wear off.
