My role as Voting Tabulator is to tabulate the votes, and so I shall.

However, as informal parliamentarian, I point out that our Policies and Procedures say (in 7.4.1)

"The Chair also shall
 . . .
t) Vote only where that vote will change the outcome of a motion"

Hence, I would feel better if you withdrew your vote.

After the conclusion of any voting, if I determine that your vote could change the outcome of a motion, I will notify you (via the alias, so everyone can see) and give you the opportunity to vote if you wish before the results are official.

Make sense?
