    It would be great if we did not specify the pattern as a literal. Take a 
look at some of the other tests and see if the way they get the patternlayout 
could apply here (`testElectionFraud` for example).

>             Project: ZooKeeper
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: leaderElection
>    Affects Versions: 3.5.3, 3.4.11
>            Reporter: Brian Nixon
>            Priority: Minor
>
> We've observed the following behavior in elections when a node is lagging 
> behind the quorum in its view of the ensemble topology.
> - Node A is operating with node B in its voting view, but without view of 
> node C.
> - B votes for C.
> - A then switches its vote to C, but throws a NPE when attempting to connect.
> This causes the QuorumPeer to spin up a Follower only to immediately have it 
> shutdown by the exception.
> Ideally, A would not advertise a vote for a server that it will not follow.
