The message I was able to get out of this analysis:

If we were to remove the votes (MVests) of users who were inactive the last 6-months, the rankings of the top 10 will be the same, but for the 11th to 20th, there will be change in rankings.

A very interesting find and I think it may be something that Steemit, Inc. and witnesses may need to consider regarding the weight of votes cast on witnesses. I also liked your predicate regarding elections.

A chart that may have been helpful is a pie chart showing the total MVESTS cast on the witnesses, what % of this is from inactive accounts so that we have a quick glimpse of the impact or the % share of MVESTS these inactive voters have.
