Resolved by d1a81c392147ccf902b6ad9aa09f97e2c5e25d11. In general, vote tabulation is heuristic and can never be perfect because of the freeform styles used by voters. We have seen, commonly and in practice, very difficult to parse cast vote expressions. It will _always_ be possible to improve the algorithm, but diminishing returns and the risk of overfitting very quickly become concerns. If release managers want a vote to be conducted with 100% guaranteed accuracy, we previously discussed storing votes cast on ATR itself in the database and even having a mode that restricts votes to be cast only on ATR. That was issue #236, and it had been closed, but I've just reopened it because I think that it is a useful solution to this general problem. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
