Arguments: We have precedent that the truth value of an action statement is true if it succeeds and false if it does not; as many Perl I/O functions also follow such a convention, we should treat the boolean value of an AGAINST vote as true if the vote was successfully cast (and perhaps valid?) and false otherwise, if anything.
