The ballot is not worded like the motion. The ballot says "Should voters be able to see the votes of others while the ballot is still open?" If we can be assured that none of us could see the votes of others while the ballot is still open, I'd vote "yes", but I believe that it is possible that some of us could see the votes, such as excom (which could be the very people the ballot is about), while other's could not. If I'm assured no one could see the votes, then I'd change my vote to "yes".

Given the way the ballot is presented, and the motion it represents, a vote of NO on this ballot is in effect a vote FOR option 1 below.
