With respect, LurkSAR, chat logs can be manipulated. I would prefer to keep any discussion about an election that I'm involved in here in public. That's not a stance I'm going to change.

Giving vote reasons doesn't solve vote manipulation. Anyone can make up a reason. If that's going to happen, that's going to happen. You can have mechanisms in place for dealing with that, such as a rule in the election about how if you're caught doing it then you can get in trouble for that, but assuming that it will stop based on a vote reason is folly.
