Oh it won’t be ignored. The EPH voting system is designed to make slates hard to get through, but if your slate is really popular it should still succeed, and the fact you need at least some form membership of the convention usually prevents a reasonable barrier to nomination stuffing. If the two Chinese publisher slates should have made it through then they should have made it through, and everybody could have picked through the data later and worked out if there was something else that needs to be done to stop groups nominating slates. If the votes weren’t valid then that should have been made clear and called out. There was a lot of surprise that Chinese works weren’t better represented on the ballot when the nominations were announced. As it is Dave has probably destroyed any chance we had of having a proper debate on how well the voting system works in the face of heavily voted for slates because he just made the votes disappear.
