Hey! Thanks for bringing this to my attention; that is definitely not working as intended! The player should absolutely be able to refuse him while still get his vote. I'll look into fixing this!
Thanks so much.

The thing with the Duke is definitely a problem, but I'd argue that an even bigger issue is that Sarah doesn't seem to get a vote at all. If you convince everyone, your chosen position gets 3 votes instead of 4. If you convince no one, your position gets 0, even though it should still at least be getting Sarah's vote.
