Another senario in which holding your vote would come in handy. Say you have the nominees and you have no clue how to vote, neither of them is a threat to you right now and you don't know much about them. Well there is a chance that one of these nominees have an alliance aganst you or your alliance. Before you vote you could use the time you have and dig up any dirt on the nominees. I'm sure if you ask the right questions you will find someone trying to save one of the nominees. BAM you've got your opposing alliance and you should target the nominee with friends.
