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!
