Wow I honestly am a bit shocked that two voted were removed less than half a day before the voting period ended. One of these votes was removed for awarding a S&G vote to con, but will end up giving con a tie instead of an L. And both were far more thorough and well-referenced than ramshutu's vote, which still stands.
If both votes were allowed to stand, the 'wrong' points on each cancelled each out anyway, with the mathematical lead between debaters being the exact same as if they were resubmitted without the votes in error. Literally the only practical result of this is that Virt gets a tie instead of an lose. You'd think that the naked appearance of corruption would be something that moderation would look to avoid...
Me remembering to finish this vote and cast it today:
