I agree. It's a good way to make sure that even the votes are authentic for the proposals and not there to rig the votes. This type of rule is needed so that we can make sure which villain accurately count as PE (or not). Allowing new users with only a history of commenting on PE blogs to vote means that the votes can be rigged. This is a good way to prevent users from rigging the votes.
