Here follows his full mail before any misconceptions about Sven's point
arise cause I didn't quote the complete mail and just hit reply too fast:

Ideally, the constitution should be changed to void all votes issued in
public, and make the sender of such votes lose his vote right for that
vote.

But then the question is, how serious is the effect of such
manipulations, as most such errors are probably mostly due to plain
errors on the voters part. Also, going over much in the direction of
sanctionning such errors may itself cause possible exploits, by
malicious setting of the reply-to in the ballot for example.

Please forward to the list, as i am being censored and cannot post
myself without a DD having judged the post as non-controversial or
whatever.
