Not as much ballot stuffing as canvassing. Most of the inactive users do not see
the sitenotices and therefore they aren't aware that an election is going on. If
you publish this information on channels that reach a certain subgroup of these
ex-editors, that can indeed skew the results. (For an example, imagine far-right
web portals announcing that there is a far-right candidate running.)
