Oh dear! Please tell me that "other words are ignored" only applies to
things purporting to be votes? Or that it means that something that
words that aren't FOR, AGAINST, or ABSTAIN are ignored when determining
something is a vote? The third alternative, that everything but those
words are ignored in all contexts, is too horrible to contemplate. (On
the plus side, that third interpretation appears to be merely
paradoxical, as opposed to a fatal suffusion, as it causes the rule to
make itself ignored.)
