I think most
of the staff (not sure specifically about Danny) have
"normal" (not WMF) accounts which are eligible to vote, and they
should not
be voting from two accounts anyway.

Speaking as one of the election monitors for the last election,
we specifically checked for those types of duplicate votes, and would
have
de-activated the earliest vote(s) keeping only the last one. As it
happens, nobody did that; the only votes we needed to strike were test
votes.[1]

Thanks Anne. By no means was my intention to suggest that anybody has
done it in the past or wants to do it in the future. My point was that
many staffers are community members in their free time, and they may be
eligible to vote as volunteers - meaning we are probably talking about
even smaller numbers of people who may need special treatment to meet
eligibility rules.
Cheers
