However, it could be possible to call up your dial a delegation and ask them to vote on your behalf. E.g. If a bid-bot was 51%+ delegated to by one account, would it be fair/allowed for that bot to vote with 51% of its VESTS, or maybe even all its VESTS to the preferred place?

I think one bot voted didn't it?

Regardless of the various issues or the result, I would like to more accurately see what stake thinks about all of this. I believe Development is needed and I don't think donations will be enough and it will fall on a few accounts. If Stinc wants to bankroll the first year or three to see how it goes, perhaps they might build the system anyway.
