Following the precedent of CFJ 2577, this is ineffective; you have to
retract and recast.  Pavitra wrote, in eir intent to appeal CFJ 2577:

but, if this precedent is set, then scamsters who don't get their
scam quite right will use it as a defense, which would be an
unfortunate lowering of the bar for successful scams.  Specific
legitimate cases should be defined in the rules, e.g.

Proposal:  Changing votes
(AI = 3, please)

Amend Rule 683 (Voting on Agoran Decisions) by replacing this text:

      (d) The voter has not publicly retracted the ballot during the
          voting period.

with this text:

      (d) The voter has not publicly retracted the ballot during the
          voting period.  ("Changing" a vote is equivalent to retracting
          it and casting a vote with the new value.)

I intend, without objection, to make this distributable.
