The rules stated the voting period ended on the 19th 20h00 UTC... meaning it was possible to vote until that time. This whole discussion is about 'assumed intentions', not what the rules at that time said. Not a single existing rule dissallowed changing a vote ...it's not regulated b the current rules.

How quickly you forget when especially Bjorn was targetted (by Z1 RCs) during these elections in the past merely because of personal dislike. Technically most likely he is capable.
