Some people voting past the deadline? No. They had their reasons, but a deadline is still a deadline, ego aside. By my definition of "serious issue," it means that there's a problem going on. By your definition of "serious issue," it means emergency situations, if I interpret it correctly.

How would you like it if you missed your flight by a minute and you have to wait longer for your next flight?

If your professor said your homework is due at the beginning of class, then you turn it in. At the end of the class, if your professor decides to extend your homework due date due to bad homework results, then they are authorized to do so. In my case, I am allowed to extend the deadline, even though it already pasted because it is my proposition. TopsyKretts3 wrote: An extension is only for serious issues, I'll say it again.

Sure, two extra votes from accounts unqualified for voting may not seem like much when the super majority of the votes would be in support either way, but what if next time it were a close race? What if then someone brings in their friends to make new accounts just for voting and points to this instance and says, "Well it was allowed when Comrade wanted it, why not now?" In that case, that's why you extend the deadline.
