If you want to use the analogy of sentencing a question to death then a reprieve is possible there, as perhaps it should be here if the person goes back and edits their question to make it valid. | |

Once a few votes have been cast there's a tendency for others to follow suit. Being able to retract the vote might tend to negate that a bit. | |
