Yes, OK, I see that now.  The only response there is to that is
that the vote was not cast properly (the addressing).

This "re-vote" was indeed (not "deemed") cast too late as per the
published deadline.  I agree that it's kind of a bad deal, but...

The good news is that the vote in question would not have changed
the outcome in any way.

Thanks for pointing out that the original vote (although not
meeting the requested criteria) was submitted on time.  I had
missed that, and apologize if I came across a little harshly.
Didn't mean to do that, just didn't realize the full story here.

Cheers!
