[LSJ] Canceling Votes

[davey sprocket]

Suppose Sir Walter Nash plays a political action, such as Kine Resources
Contested. He also plays superior Bewitching Oration to gain 4 votes. The
Methuselah controlling Walter has 7 votes:

1 from the vote card
2 from Walter's title of prince
4 from Bewitching Oration.

The question is: how many of these votes can be cancelled by Pulling
Strings or Demonstration?

The 6 from Walter - his title and the BewOra.

I would say the 1 from the vote card comes from the Methuselah, but you can
clearly cancel Walter's prince votes (2), and the 4 from the BO, as it
says "...acting vampire gains 4 votes...".

LSJ, I hope I got this right, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Pulling Strings and Demonstration would cancel all the votes Sir Walter
obtained. You would end up with 1 for the political action card that was
played.

All the ones from Sir Walter: the 2 from his title and the 4 from his B.O.
(The one from the PA card is simply the Methuselah's vote - it doesn't
come from the acting vampire.)
