I agree. It's surprising that Venezuela has such a good reporting system 
if the authorities want to rig the elections anyway, though!

It's also unfortunate that I haven't found any suitable summable analogs 
of the resistant set for strategy resistance. I have some ideas of where 
I should look, but nothing concrete has come of it. Maybe it will turn 
out that the strongest manipulation resistance can only be achieved by 
giving up summability. But perhaps it doesn't matter. Perhaps RP is good 
enough :)

Thank you for letting the politicians know, in any case!
