Well they had a vote already, so then with a do over precedent, do officials just keep asking for do overs until they get the desired results? It's messy.

If the "people" do not "accept" the result of the previous vote, but are more accepting of the results of the new vote, there's nothing wrong with it. That's kind of how democracy works. It may feel wrong, but if the people's opinion change, then so can the result

Not the same issue really.

Political stunts can cause damage. I call it a stunt because it was never meant to pass, but it did...
