Vote Calculations
#counties (C): 5
#baronies (B): 1 (minus the Duke's Barony of Woodbridge)
being a duchy(D): 2
Barony of Woodbridge
Counties: 2
votes (B1)= counties + 1
Barony of Comsfist
Counties: 3
votes (B2)= counties + 1

C+B+B1+B2+D = 15.

The Baron of Comsfist shall recieve the following votes:
3 for the number of Counties (C), 4 for its votes as a Barony (B2), and 1 for being a Barony (B). This equals 8 votes.

The Barony of Woodbridge shall recieve the following votes:
2 for the number of Counties (C), 3 for its votes as a Barony (B1), and 1 for being a Duchy. This equals 7 votes.

3) Votes shall be calculated and fairly distrubuted with the addition and/or subtraction of any Counties or Baronies.

So with the new passed act does this legally go into effect now? 7-8 vote break down?
