That produces an interesting vote graph. If you get bots to vote for random amounts, you end up with a vote that is always int(50% x ballots) + 1 in favour. This is not a problem if the spread is random and the there are hundreds of ballots. but our votes will be weirdly weighted.
I think an "at most" would be fine for these cases to keep things simple. I wonder if there's a vote type with some special name that does this kind of thing already.
