This changes the effective voting preference of vacant SC seats in the event the SC has determined no-confidence, to vote toward full reelection in case a tiebreaker is needed.

I think this modest change:

Builds upon #181 to implement my earlier suggestion to this extent.

This changes the effective voting preference of vacant SC seats in the
event the SC has determined no-confidence, to vote toward full
reelection in case a tiebreaker is needed.

I think this modest change:

- better matches the spirit of having such seats favor reelection in the
first place;
- better conforms to proportional representation than (the more
majoritarian) special elections would;
- better incentivizes the SC to prevent seats from going (or staying)
vacant.
