spoon-business: J23/0

[Joel Uckelman <uckelman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the matter:

Inaccurate, late, or no publication of Ballot Issues does not affected the 
actual state of Ballot Issues.

I rule TRUE.

It is entirely possible for the Ballot to be grossly incorrect (as the 
Ballot unfortunately was for the first voting period). R202/0 provides that 
active Proposals become Ballot Issues at the start of voting. R201/0 
defines the Ballot as "list[ing] all Ballot Issues for the nweek". Thus, 
the Ballot is defined in terms of Ballot Issues, not vice versa. Moreover, 
is entirely possible (as we unfortunately saw during the first nweek) for 
the Ballot to be grossly incorrect. The Ballot is an Administrator-created 
document, and thus directly subject to error. Being a Ballot Issue is a 
Proposal state; the Administrator cannot directly affect it as e can the 
Ballot.
