Though I'm not sure if casting an invalid vote is "voting".
Well, see, that's the question I'm trying to resolve. So any particular
arguments? The issue is that the rules implicitly recognize attempts
to vote by eligible voters as "ballots" which can be either valid or
invalid (rather than saying the attempt to vote fails under certain
conditions). So given that invalid ballots are (implicitly) a thing
that has been cast, is casting one "voting"?
Earlier scshunt quoted the following:
An *eligible voter* on a particular Agoran decision submits a
ballot to the vote collector by publishing a valid notice
indicating which one of the available options e selects.
This, to me at least, seems to say that for an attempted vote to be a ballot
it must be a vote for one of the available, valid options.
