If that isn't a bug you can bang me sideways and call me Sally. I had that election perfectly rigged too. Still...not a game breaker of a bug, but a little annoying nonetheless.
Now that i think about it, the only times i encountered this was when an excommed faction (previously) or a dead cardinal (died on same turn as vote) happened. I think i had like 8 more votes on my side from my ally, but he managed to get excommed (and why i killed th previous pope, so he didn't hound me to break my alliance)
