A meadow council digitizes its quill-written roster in umber ink as the trusted founder list. Each founder may sign one invitation per election. Validators check invitations against founder public keys, reject invalid signatures or reused invitation slots, and allow one ballot per invitation. Extra influence requires recruiting or compromising more founders; aliases alone create no slots. Colluding founders can admit one attacker repeatedly, so this trusts the initial roster and limits invitations without proving unique people.
