Hmm, I suppose I could write a new enter-votes form as "enter several people's votes on one proposal" (or multiple proposals, if they were distributed in one message) rather than the current "enter one person's votes on several proposals". (I'd still want a form because the Assessor DB auto-calculates voting limits and F/A totals.) The DB wouldn't record votes mid-voting-period, but it doesn't always do that now anyway (depends how often I process mail), and it /would/ still record them after the fact (for various forms of trend analysis).
