Such a change would not remove any voting options since votes like 1------- have equivalent espressions like 12222222.
I disagree. Not on theoretical grounds, but if you assume that someone votes 1------- because they are too lazy to read the instructions, how do you think they will respond to an error message telling them they forgot to rank *all* options? Most likely, they'll vote 12345678. Besides, I am still unconvinced and mildly offended by the assumption that people who voted 1------- were too stupid to do it right. But for the sake of your argument, a much simpler solution would be a change in Devotee to report back the vote in normalized form, e.g. "Your vote has been recorded with the following effective rankings: ---- 1222 ---- 1 Foo 2 Bar 2 Baz 2 Further Discussions If this is not your intention, please vote again with a corrected ballot."
