You can change your vote if you want, but you do it by making another posting indicating that you've changed your mind and you're voting for someone else. It's more to do with the fact that people occasionally let slip a derp, and then edit it out, or pretend that they said something or voted for someone when they didn't. If everyone's editing all the time, that becomes confusing, hence the rule.
I can understand the issue with the voting, but people trying to be deceptive about what they did or didn't say previously through the use of their edits? Interesting little note here - as far as I know, your game was the only one (until this one) to have this rule. Nobody else enforced any rules about losing votes if you edited posts. And, get this, none of our games have ever had a problem of people deceptively editing their posts.
What I think the rule should be is that any vote that has been edited should be disregarded by the narrator and not count towards the total. That's more or less what we did in most games, even if we didn't specifically note it as a rule. This crap about "lol you edited a post so you don't get to vote" should be scrapped. We don't need it, like I just pointed out, and it's not in the spirit of the game. It's a silly "gotcha!" element that's only going to exclude people for making honest mistakes.
