I wanted to cast an invalid vote. That is what I did. If I wanted to
abstain I would have done that. Those are two totally different things.

I don't think there is one. And I always suggested to have some general
process documented that is binding. In addition some specific additions
for specific kinds of votes.

Also the absence of a documented process doesn't mean you're bound to
your responsibility to uphold what I would consider common sense for
democratic elections.

Failing to do so however let my stay away from acknowledging this
election.


With best regards,
