Ah, the Cynosure voting/funding scheme: money _is_ votes. The winning
candidate is the one for whom the electorate pledges the most financial
support, and all "votes", including those for the loser(s), go to the
Treasury.
Of course, that was only for the low-to-medium-level bureaucracy; the
_real_ rulers weren't voted in and weren't going to be voted out,
either.
