Also, the voting period ends at the deadline, which is by definition
sometime after Ballotday, defaulting to the end of the nweek. It would
take that default and end at the end of the nweek (causing the
proposals to fail, as they were never Won) - except that the rules do
not permit it to do so, since in this instance the end of the nweek
was not a time after Ballotday. Ergo, the deadline cannot occur, and
so the voting period cannot end.
