Just a query regarding his special.
You may tap a previously tapped vampire if an effect would force you
to (See Brujah Debate). This does not mean that you can tap Gustav
during a political action he has taken, to gain an additional 5 votes,
correct?
IANLSJ, but "tap to" isn't the same as "tap". When you "tap to" produce an
effect, you need to be untapped and to tap. An effect like Deep Song ("tap a
ready vampire and enter combat) will tap the vampire you enter combat with,
but will work if he is already tapped.

Thought so too, but someone is arguing with me....
Kill him.
Nobody should dare argue with the dreaded Blooded Sands !!

Nah, wanna feed him my new combo idea. Carlak and Dmitra, with Mary
Anne for backup. Can you say BLOAT?
If you give him Inscription+Rutor's Hand, or a Temptation, then you can
untap him during his own action in order to use his special.
Just saying..
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! :)
Correct.
I understand why all of the above other examples are correct, but I
didn't think it applied here. So Gustav has 5 additional votes during
each referendum, as long as he's ready? If he's untapped, he'll have
to tap to do it, but if he's already tapped, no problem.
Cool.
No. When you "tap to" produce an effect, like Gustav does, you need to be
untapped in order to tap.
He has to tap "to" get the five additional votes. If he's tapped already, he
can't tap "to" get five votes.
In contrast to an effect like Deep Song, which doesn't say "tap to". Deep Song
can be used to "tap a vampire and enter combat with him or her" against an
already-tapped vampire.
Or even whackier, CI to Toreador then graverob Alexandra and you can
use Alexandra's special to do it.
or, tap him TWICE (or more, depending on your setup) during a referendum
called by a different one of your vampires to gain 10 (or more) votes....

Nope.
His ability says "During". That means once.
sorry I had been confused by the one word answer earlier
The earlier answer was

But "tap to" isn't the same as "tap". When you "tap to" produce an effect, you
need to be untapped and to tap. An effect like Deep Song ("tap a ready vampire
and enter combat) will tap the vampire you enter combat with, but will work if
he is already tapped.

Which, although briefer than the second, is a good bit longer than one word.
Confirming that the answer was correct is not a one-word answer to your query.
It is a one-word acknowledgment that the answer given to your query is correct.
My longer answer says the same thing as the original answer.
Argh. Because the sentence was written slightly differently to normal
('during' not being the first word), i didn't notice the 'during x do y'
template. Ah well.
