Then don't say that.
We have a defined method of voting, and if people don't like the results:
there are procedures to change the voting method, the constitution and other
things. After that you could even start a new GR. Complaining about the
voting system because you don't like the outcome or because you could
announce the outcome in an awkward way is not helpful.
There are awkward voting systems all over the world (ever voted for the US
president? or in Germany?), so Debian is not special.
