On Democracy [6]

How does Democracy work? Suppose Alice uses Democracy, Bob and Chalie both have enough bulbs to share it. Bob returns 1 card, Chalie returns 2 cards, and Alice herself returns 3 cards. Who can score an [8]?

I think only Alice can score an [8]. However, program on iso rules that all three people score. Which one is correct?

Iso is right, every one scores.

When Alice activate Democracy:

        Bob share the dogma:
          Return any number of cards: return 1. Does he return more card than any other player due to Democracy? (A:0, B:1 C:0) Yes. score an [8].

       Chalie share the dogma:
          Return any number of cards: return 2. Does he return more card than any other player due to Democracy ? (A:0, B:1, C:2) Yes. score an [8].

  Alice:
     Return any number of cards: return 3. Does she return more card than any other player due to Democracy? (A:3, B:1, C:2) Yes. score an [8].

That's counter-intuitive, don't you think? I, as well as my gaming group IRL, reason that we "vote" by returning cards, thus only one who gets highest votes (ie. returning most cards) is winner and scores. We will probably keep it as a house rule.

That's counter-intuitive, don't you think?

It may be counterintuitive as an idea for what the card would do, if you were designing it. But I don't think it's counterintuitive as an explanation of what that card does do, based on reading what's printed on it.

A single election does not a democracy make! First Bob gets his candidate elected (and scores an 8). Bob has shown that his candidate has about one card of support most of the time. Then, next election (because each player resolves the action individually and entirely), Charlie puts forth his candidate. If Charlie only puts in one or no cards, his candidate isn't popular enough to oust the incumbent, but he returns two, letting his challenger win the election (and an 8).

But if you don't have enough lightbulbs, you can't vote because it's too dark
