At the end of the cascade, \ the votes accumulate to reveal the favoured candidates.\ \n\n\ A trace of the cascade is included in the reply. \ It shows the path of your vote and who ultimately receives it. \ To see how another person is voting:\ \n\n\ \ \ \ \ vote --alter ID\ \n\n\ You may change your vote by sending another 'vote' command. \ Or withdraw it altogether using 'unvote'.
