Ok, having just been informed that you were actually objecting to the 
original coup:

Your objection is entirely correct. However, it's also irrelevant. As you 
said, I can't change the list of names as defined by Rule 3 without going 
through the proper legal procedures. However, the rules do not declare that 
this list is in fact the List of Voters. The only List of Voters I've seen 
is the one on my bedroom floor, and I'm the only person on it.
