updated and replaced "hoist with your own petard" idiom with the one suggested by Colleen in the comments below.

| Jul 18, 2020 at 1:31 | comment | added | ColleenV | @CodyGray Well, then it probably wouldn’t change their vote at all if the name were changed. On what basis do they vote? By looking for someone they’ve interacted with before and recognize? I don’t know that there’s any way to design a reasonable system around a willfully ignorant voter. | |
| Jul 17, 2020 at 23:39 | comment | added | Cody Gray | While I want to agree with you, @Colleen, the principal concern is that the vast majority of voters never read Meta or the questionnaire. | |
| Jul 17, 2020 at 15:42 | comment | added | ColleenV | +1 for allowing the candidate to shoot themselves in the foot if they want to. So long as the discussion in comments on the candidates isn't censored, I think it would be difficult for a candidate to deceive enough voters to make a difference, if that was their intent. If their intent is not deception, then comments would allow them to discuss what their real motivation was. | |

"la fine"

| Jul 17, 2020 at 7:22 | comment | added | Cody Gray | Yes, but there's a well-known workaround that involves changing your name on another site and copying over your profile. | |
| Jul 17, 2020 at 7:18 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A Слава Україні | @CodyGray well, again this erratic behaviour only illustrates the candidate's fitness. P.S Isn't there an imposed 30-day limit before usernames can be changed? | |
