The voting style depends on the options selected at challenge time.

-slow (default)  means EVERYONE has to vote.  plurality is enough.
-fast           means voting continues until there is a plurality.


FAST examples.

if A has 2 votes, B has 3 votes, and C has 4 votes, and there is
    1 vote outstanding, it's not over.   the outstanding vote
    could vote for B causing a tie that needs an A vote to switch
    of a B/C vote to switch.

if A has 2 votes, B has 2 votes, and C has 4 votes, and there is
    1 vote outstanding, it's over.

in either FAST or SLOW mode, you can switch your vote at any time
(until voting closes, of course)
