It is good for them to see that their votes really do count, even though the ultimate decision is being delayed. It is not the intent, but the end result that matters. For example, there are several degrees of murder. Each takes into account the intent of the person charged. However, the result is the same.
Someone is dead.
Whether the person meant to or not, the death occurred. The same is true for your vote. No matter what your intent, it is the result that you place in the ballot box that counts. It has been said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. What you mean to do doesn't mean a thing.
