The fact that the Influence is in the Rules then we must obey the rules and thus the votes need to be checked again.
The next time we have a controversial Edict I could demand the same thing that everyones votes should be 1.
If it is in the Rules then we must follow the Rules.

I agree with this. If you want a rule changed, that's what CAs are for. No CA used, no rule changed, and it's still valid and should be followed.

However, if the result was 7-7 then the edict still failed, as rule 3.3 states:

3.3 Edicts

Edicts require a simple majority of votes to pass and remain in effect until the next normal session of the Council.
Tied Edicts fail. If contradictory Edicts are passed, the one with the most votes takes priority.

Or am I missing something here?
