Lon Chaney: One more point. I don't believe that Legume used a "loophole" to gain unfair advantage. You are speaking as if that were a given, and I do not agree. To me, loophole implies some sort of technicality that lets someone get around the rules. I do not think that applies here. I really think "stuffing the ballot box" means something specific: voting more than once, and it isn't right to accuse Legume (or others) of doing that. You can accuse him of aggressively campaigning (which is not wrong, so perhaps "accuse" is the wrong word), but not "stuffing the ballot box". Also: A political race is a type of contest. So far I understand that you don't like Legume's tactics, but I don't see that you have given clear reasons why.
