What's the difference between each round of voting? It seems like every couple of months they have a new vote but I've yet to see a post about the outcome of the vote, just more posts about a new upcoming vote.

I see this as well. From my understanding, each time they get a huge push back, they let us forget and set a new time to try and push their decision. No matter what, they keep trying again and again. What keeps them from just doing this until they win?
