MAX_MINIMUM_VOTE_THRESHOLD is unnecessarily low

Open NCGThompson opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Currently MAX_MINIMUM_VOTE_THRESHOLD is set to 1000000, but it is plausible that larger jurisdictions may want more than that. As far as I know, the maximum is just a sanity check for validation and there is no reason to keep it that low.

A better value would be on the order of the amount of voters this software can accommodate, or the number of humans on Earth. 1000000000 is probably good.

I agree there's no technical reason that this couldn't be higher. That said, the likelihood of a real election wanting to set a minimum higher than 1 million seems very low, at least in the foreseeable future.
